Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills that reduce overwhelming thoughts and improve coping. Dr. Hancock draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
She works with issues that include trauma and abuse, social anxiety and phobia, mood disorders such as bipolar and seasonal affective disorder, and concerns linked to self-harm or domestic violence. Other focuses include LGBT concerns, first responder issues, and questions about life purpose and career direction. The work often blends practical steps with attention to values and strengths.
People can expect straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral ideas, values-based direction from acceptance and commitment approaches, and a supportive, client-centered tone. Solution-focused techniques help clarify short-term goals and measure small wins. Dr.
Hancock emphasizes self-love and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She offers sessions in English and practices from Arizona. Those interested in beginning a course of therapy complete an online matching process and schedule a time that fits their needs.
The therapist aims to tailor the pace and focus to each person's situation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behavior and mood. It is useful for panic, social anxiety, low mood, and managing daily stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past efforts, then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change and progress is tracked together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions are a good lower-bandwidth option, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for work, school, or caregiving schedules and let therapists and clients choose what works best for their routines.
