She is listed as a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS017722) and a Virginia Psychologist (VA Psychologist 0810007495). She focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, with additional attention to women's issues and related life challenges.

Her approach blends practical skills with gentle support. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns, reduce distress, and try new behaviors. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps rather than jargon, with attention to everyday routines like sleep and concentration.

Dr. Temple has worked with people coping with chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, memory and thinking concerns, and recovery after stroke. She helps people manage caregiver stress, workplace strain, feelings of isolation, and the emotional effects of separation or life changes. Her rehabilitation background informs a focus on thinking, memory, and functional goals.

People can expect a nonjudgmental space to talk through worries, practice skills, and set realistic goals. The first session typically looks at current problems and what the person hopes to change. Progress is tracked with straightforward steps and adjustments as needed.

She practices from Virginia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It is often used when stress, anxiety, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and concentration difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating behavior, which can help with compassion fatigue and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily routines. That process can include trying skills from different models and adjusting what is most helpful over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow consistent follow-ups for sleep, attention, and mood work. It also supports checking in around caregiving responsibilities or medical appointments, and can make practicing new skills between sessions more convenient for many people.
