About Hunter

She works with people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, depression, and grief. Hunter aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Background and approach
Sessions are a mix of talking, skill-building, and planning small changes that fit daily life. Hunter draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people choose values-driven action. She also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to clarify goals and find workable solutions.
These methods are used to address issues such as body image, obsessive thoughts, process addictions, and relationship communication problems. With four years of experience, Hunter brings calm direction and practical tools to sessions. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process where the client’s priorities shape the work.
Her background is focused on helping people take concrete steps toward feeling more in control. People who choose Hunter can expect clear language, short-term goals when helpful, and an emphasis on building skills that carry into everyday life. She encourages courage for the first step and supports steady progress thereafter.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Hunter commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, obsessions, and mood concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and building actions that matter, helping people move past avoidance and toward meaningful change.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Hunter will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and preferences and then tailor methods like CBT or ACT accordingly. That collaborative process helps decide whether short-term, solution-focused tasks or deeper emotion skills from DBT are the right fit.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone can work when internet is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try methods that translate into everyday routines.
