Background and approach details include use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Gottman Method elements. Clients in Wyoming may find her approach fits well for stress, mood concerns, relationship patterns, and trauma-related work.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, supports processing traumatic memories and related distress through a structured protocol when that approach fits a person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and recommend methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can include trying different techniques until something feels like a good fit.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people maintain therapy during life transitions and provide a way to continue consistent progress without needing an in-person visit.
