Background and approach

Clients are invited to try imagery exercises and mindful breathing to reduce urgent symptoms. She explains ideas in plain language and breaks goals into short steps. Treatment plans emphasize what someone can do between sessions.

Many people find this approach useful for handling life changes, relationship stress, body image concerns, and feelings of isolation. Dr. Clark holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and she is licensed as an LPC in Missouri.

She offers help that fits a person’s daily routine and preferences. When starting, she usually looks at current worries, what has helped before, and small goals for the coming weeks. Work is collaborative and focused on practical, teachable strategies that can be repeated at home or on the go.

Practical approaches for online care

Dr. Clark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people with anxiety, stress, and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, structured exercises that can reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy involves brief attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help someone notice thoughts without getting swept into them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to test methods and adapt them based on goals and what feels useful. The plan may include short behavioral experiments, daily mindfulness practice, or solution-focused steps to make quick progress on a particular problem.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction help learning. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text support allow brief check-ins, homework review, and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches in real time.
