Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters and move toward small, realistic goals. Her background includes three years working in both acute and non-acute settings. In those roles she supported people through panic, mood swings, and recovery after traumatic events.

That work emphasized short-term tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Mallory also addresses challenges like low self-esteem, feeling isolated, communication problems, and forgiveness. She works with people managing bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress, and she can help veterans and those with armed forces concerns navigate related issues.

Therapy sessions focus on practical steps. Clients can expect to learn breathing and grounding strategies, try thought-record exercises, set small behavior goals, and review progress week to week. Mallory aims to match the approach to each person’s needs while keeping the work clear and doable.

How these approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. In online sessions this often looks like reviewing thought records together, assigning short at-home exercises, and tracking small behavior changes over weeks.

Motivational Interviewing centers on helping people find their own reasons for change. In remote work that can mean guided conversations to set priorities, build motivation, and turn big goals into small steps that feel achievable.

Mallory will collaborate with each person to choose which approach fits best. She will listen to current concerns, goals, and daily routines and then recommend methods to try. The plan can change as progress is reviewed so work stays aligned with what helps most.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking.

These formats make it simpler to maintain steady contact, practice new skills between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy life.
