Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients change anxious thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered principles shape sessions so people feel heard and respected. Her background includes long experience in substance use and addiction counseling and work with issues around identity, spirituality, and major life transitions.
She has taught in higher education for many years and consults with colleges and community organizations on inclusion and related topics. That work informs how she supports people coping with shame, isolation, and life purpose questions. In sessions she aims to break problems into manageable steps.
She helps people build simple practices for mood, coping, and healthier relationships. She also brings Jungian and existential ideas when exploring meaning, symbols, and life choices. People who come to her often want clear tools and thoughtful conversation.
Dr. Wright invites a steady, patient approach to change. She encourages small experiments that can lead to clearer thinking and more satisfying daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Dr. Wright uses a mix of approaches that suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while allowing difficult thoughts to exist. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and confusion about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and change mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can discover their own solutions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Sometimes sessions blend methods so work on behavior, meaning, and values can happen together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and circumstances.
