Background and approach
Together they set small, manageable goals that build confidence over time. Her sessions draw on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based work, and attachment-focused thinking. That means clients learn skills to manage thoughts and feelings, practice ways to respond differently in relationships, and clarify values that guide choices.
Parham has five years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. She has worked with people dealing with family conflict, parenting strain, mood difficulties, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location and availability. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which often reduces anxious or low mood symptoms by changing patterns of thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. Sessions may mix ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed ideas so the plan matches the client’s needs and preferences rather than one fixed method.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support quick skill reminders or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage parenting or work obligations, and keep momentum between meetings.
