Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and close relationships. Many clients come for help with parenting strain, grief, trauma and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar mood swings.
Whitney also supports people dealing with eating problems, anger, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She has experience related to addiction work and process addictions including gambling and pornography concerns. Her additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving stress, fertility and pregnancy-related challenges, postpartum depression, first responder stress, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
She has worked in settings that include group work and medication-assisted treatment programs. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Whitney listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps.
She checks in on progress and adjusts the plan based on what is helping. The overall aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better daily functioning.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard. This approach supports work on self-esteem, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach simple skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and compulsive habits.
Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These practices are useful for stress, anger management, and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over time they adjust the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow fuller interaction and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for people who prefer written check-ins or need more frequent brief support. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose what fits their routine.
