Background and approach
Work often includes improving communication and rebuilding self-esteem. Dr. Wheatley uses approaches that focus on both understanding where problems come from and building skills to manage them.
She draws from cognitive behavior ideas to change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses attachment-focused work to address relationship patterns. Over seven years of practice in Ohio have given her experience with concerns like ADHD, career stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship difficulties.
She also supports people facing forgiveness, impulsivity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and goal oriented. Clients can expect clear feedback, concrete strategies, and step-by-step skill building.
Therapy is framed as a process of reconnecting with yourself and moving forward with more control and clarity.
Approaches that combine insight and skills online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on the ways people connect, and it can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and stress going. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Wheatley collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they track what’s helping and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people work face to face while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or sitting on camera is difficult. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people maintain consistency and fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
