Background and approach
Many clients have come for help after losses, health concerns, financial strain, or conflicts at work and home. Her style is rooted in client-centered care. That means she centers the conversation on the person in front of her and collaborates on goals and plans.
She also draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dee uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values. She brings solution-focused methods for quick, practical steps and teaches mindfulness practices for stress relief.
She often helps people work through family conflict, relationship difficulties, and caregiver stress. Dee also supports those coping with addiction, medical challenges such as cancer, and the emotional toll of aging. Her approach is pragmatic, warm, and sometimes lightened with gentle humor.
How online methods and approaches fit together
Dee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and making choices during life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of acting to reduce symptoms and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dee will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means she may combine ACT, CBT, and client-centered conversation to build a practical plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or someone who prefers typing. These options help people access regular support from home, work, or while traveling and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
