Background and approach
Her background includes work across many life stages and situations, such as caregiving stress, cancer and hospice concerns, immigration issues, and aging-related worries. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, grief, family conflict, and work-related pressure.
Therapeutic work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s perspective, psychodynamic ideas about patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable changes. Trauma-focused approaches are available when past events are getting in the way of current life. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Dr. Humphrey uses a range of formats to fit different needs, and she helps people choose what will fit their schedule and goals.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply to each person's experience and following their lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and practical choices about next steps.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that influence current feelings and relationships. It can be useful for people who want to understand why certain reactions keep happening and how past experiences shape present life.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, actionable changes that move life forward. It is helpful for people who prefer short-term work that targets concrete goals and daily habits.
Choosing the right approach is a team process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep and which to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client use visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
