She also supports people facing depression, grief, and addiction concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy understandable and usable for everyday life.

Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be a place to talk frankly and plan small, doable steps forward. In the room she prioritizes clarity and collaboration. Mackenzie listens for what matters most to each person and then helps create straightforward goals.
She uses methods that teach new ways of thinking and acting, plus skills for calming the body and mind. People who come for grief or life changes get space to tell their story and options for coping as they rebuild routines. For stress and anxiety she focuses on practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.
When addiction is present she combines motivational conversation with concrete planning to support safer choices. Mackenzie aims to make beginning therapy simple. She supports people who take the step to reach out, and she works at a pace suited to each person’s comfort and needs.
Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that increase distress, which is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will work with each person to try methods, see what fits, and adapt goals based on needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort level.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and full conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
