Background and approach
Dr. Fawcett uses client-centered methods to shape sessions around each person's goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build coping skills.
Mindfulness is used to help with stress and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Solution-focused ideas help create short-term plans and quick wins for pressing problems like job stress, relationship tensions, or parenting challenges.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and career challenges. Dr. Fawcett also addresses later-life concerns such as aging and chronic illness, and multicultural or immigration issues when they affect adjustment.
People who prefer a respectful, straightforward style tend to find her helpful. Sessions are offered from Minnesota and conducted in English.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered work means sessions begin with the person's concerns and goals. The therapist listens carefully and adapts conversation to what matters most to the client, helping guide each session toward practical next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting thoughts that increase anxiety and testing different behaviors to reduce stress. In online sessions this looks like reviewing real situations, trying new responses, and planning small homework tasks to build confidence.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills are practiced during sessions and can be used between meetings to calm the body and steady the mind.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match needs, goals, and personal preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief reflections, or for people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
