Background and approach

She counts multicultural concerns, women’s issues, fertility and parenting strains, and workplace pressures among common topics she addresses. Her style emphasizes clear goals, steady pacing, and respect for each person’s background and beliefs. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance strategies to reduce the struggle with painful feelings.

Attachment-informed ideas and motivational interviewing also guide sessions when people want to improve relationships or make lasting life changes. Dr. Walker often helps people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue, as well as issues like control, forgiveness, guilt, and self-esteem.

She also supports those exploring life purpose, career direction, or intimacy-related concerns. ADHD, parenting, and young adult issues are listed among her areas of focus. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

She offers a collaborative process that starts with a clear plan and small, doable steps toward stronger coping and clearer choices.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so people can make meaningful choices even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection styles and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. She will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you learn what helps. That process is collaborative and paced to what you can manage in daily life.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls let you work face to face when you want deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when you need a quick way to stay connected between longer sessions. These formats give flexibility and keep the focus on progress and practical coping.
