Background and approach

Brenda draws from several well-known approaches to guide treatment. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts, and she includes acceptance-based and emotional methods to help people live in line with their values. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s experience.

With 28 years of experience, Brenda brings steadiness and many clinical perspectives to the room. She aims to tailor each conversation and plan so it fits the person’s life and preferences. The focus is on small, achievable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as bipolar issues, ADHD, trauma, caregiving stress, body image, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Brenda frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they try new coping strategies and adjustments.

How Brenda’s approaches work online

Brenda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, which can reduce suffering and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and changing patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety, depression, and stress.

She approaches online care as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try different techniques together to see what fits. If an approach isn’t helping, they adjust plans and try alternatives until the client feels progress toward their goals.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let work feel closer to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or quick skill coaching between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
