Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer communication so people can handle hard moments more calmly. Her approach blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people act on values despite difficult emotions. Gretchen also draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches to address how relationships shape emotions and reactions. She works with concerns around parenting, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and attachment-related struggles.
Common topics addressed in sessions include panic attacks, postpartum depression, social anxiety, self-esteem, eating concerns, guilt and shame, and coping with life transitions. Conversations also cover intimacy, communication problems, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. Gretchen offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules.
She supports people who want down-to-earth guidance and clear next steps for managing stress and anxiety.
How Gretchen Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Gretchen incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and depression. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take steps toward what matters, even when uncomfortable emotions arise. These methods aim to produce concrete changes in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gretchen will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. She tailors methods so they fit each person’s needs and checks in regularly to adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between in-depth sessions.
