Background and approach
Tools often include simple thinking exercises, emotional check-ins, and mindfulness practices that can be used between sessions. Her background combines social work with study in transpersonal psychology. That mix means she pays attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual sides of a person when those matter to care and healing.
She has worked with people facing aging concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and end-of-life decisions. Expect a collaborative, warm style that balances practical skills with space to process emotions. Dr.
Wright draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas alongside client-centered listening. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions can address grief, depression, self-esteem, ADHD-related concerns, relationship strain, and forgiveness or guilt.
The goal is clearer thinking, better day-to-day coping, and more ease with life’s transitions. Work is paced so people can try things and report back on what helps.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what the client brings to sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and guides choices about which skills to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short, practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations and role-playing; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a shorter touchpoint fits your day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
