Background and approach

Conversations are interactive and geared toward skills people can use between meetings. Desiree blends methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered work to tailor sessions. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed ideas when relationships are a concern.

The mix is chosen to match each person’s goals and situation rather than follow a single script. Her experience includes working with people who have a range of mood and anxiety-related diagnoses over four years. She practices in Texas and offers sessions that fit today’s busy schedules.

She explains therapy in simple terms and focuses on helping people take practical next steps. People who come for help with parenting stress, grief, anger, ADHD, career strain, or compassion fatigue will find concrete strategies and a collaborative approach. Desiree encourages small experiments that reveal what works and what needs adjusting.

The work moves at a pace each person can manage.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It’s useful when worry or avoidance get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals steer the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss these methods with clients and together decide which fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions can shift over time if different strategies are needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter background is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or scheduling that fits busy days. These options aim to make regular work on goals easier to maintain without losing therapeutic focus.
