Background and approach
Her background includes addressing depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, and family-related concerns. She pays attention to how culture and experiences of prejudice shape a person's struggles and coping style. Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build on what already works for a person. These methods are used together to suit each person's needs rather than following a single script. In sessions she listens first, then introduces small, practical tools.
That might include trying a different way of thinking about a problem, practicing a new behavior, or setting concrete steps to test a change. The aim is to help people feel more effective between appointments. Dr.
Finney practices in Georgia and brings a calm, experienced approach. She emphasizes self-love and resilience while respecting each person's story and pace.
How her approaches work with online therapy
Dr. Finney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often involves simple exercises and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage anger.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific, achievable goals. This approach breaks concerns into small steps and builds on what already helps a person, which can speed up progress on concrete problems.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that match those needs, and adjust the plan as work proceeds. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, while phone calls can fit a short break from work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or use brief written reflections. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while using the therapist's CBT and solution-focused tools.
