Background and approach
Career struggles, relationship strains, and adapting to life changes are also common topics in her work. Dr. Wiggins blends several practical therapies in sessions.
She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She incorporates narrative work to help people rewrite painful stories and solution-focused tools to create small, achievable steps forward. Sessions aim to be conversational and goal-oriented.
The therapist tailors the plan to each person’s needs, pacing change to what feels manageable. People can expect straightforward talk, collaborative planning, and tools they can use between sessions. Her background includes years of direct client care in Alabama settings.
That experience shapes a calm, steady approach when addressing caregiver stress, workplace problems, communication difficulties, and recovery after domestic violence or post-traumatic stress. The emphasis is on practical change and building self-compassion.
Using practical therapies online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their goals and values; this approach is useful for building self-esteem and finding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple exercises and behavioral experiments that target anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. By separating the person from the problem, this work helps people rewrite painful narratives and move toward self-love and forgiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for regular, in-depth work, phone can be easier on low bandwidth days, live chat and text can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the methods described above.
