Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people through trauma, loss, depression, and issues with substance use. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and career stress. Additional focus areas include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, multicultural concerns, and questions around sexual orientation and non-monogamous relationships.
Dr. Croom believes the client knows themselves best and works alongside them rather than directing every step. Sessions are meant to feel like a steady, respectful conversation about what is getting in the way and what might help.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Appointments can be scheduled through the site's matching process and are conducted using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Approaches to Anxiety and Online Care
Dr. Croom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear steps and practical change. One approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns so anxious thinking becomes easier to manage; this helps with social anxiety, panic, and worry. Another approach concentrates on skills for coping with strong emotions and stress, teaching simple strategies people can use during difficult moments to feel more grounded.Choosing the right way to work is a team effort. The therapist listens to what matters most to the client and tries different techniques to see what fits. Together they set goals and adjust methods over time so the work matches the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or fitting support into a busy day. These options help people access care around work, family, and travel constraints.
