Background and approach

Her work includes attention to trauma, attachment difficulties, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. She also helps with struggles around intimacy, grief, sleep, parenting stress, and workplace challenges. Addiction and issues connected to substance use are part of her practice as well.

Dr. Wytiaz describes therapy as a team effort. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s life, background, and values.

That can mean focusing on coping tools, shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or exploring relationship patterns. Her background includes experience in multiple clinical settings and work with veterans in VA programs. She holds the CA Psychologist credential, number 29962.

People who choose to work with her typically get a mix of skills training and reflective conversation aimed at practical improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with addictive urges.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, combining skills practice and deeper conversation when helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let sessions feel most like in-person meetings, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter touchpoints, and ways to record thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while still using ACT and CBT techniques in real life.
