Background and approach
Many clients find it useful that she combines short-term strategies with longer-term work on values and connection. Her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act on what matters to them even when emotions are strong.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and intimacy-related issues. Dr. Legner has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
She also addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, eating-related concerns, and first responder issues. Her background covers both clinical work and real-world problems that affect daily functioning. Therapy is offered in English from Wisconsin.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to small, doable steps between meetings. She aims to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of coping and track real progress.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice inner experiences and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections, and it can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Sessions may blend approaches so practical skills and deeper relationship work happen together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can be good for face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and texting make brief check-ins or step-by-step skill coaching possible between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
