About Brenda

Brenda also offers hospice and end-of-life counseling and supports people navigating career strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

How Brenda works
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in practical skills that can be used between meetings. Brenda blends several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy provide tools for changing unhelpful thinking and managing strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she holds sessions - with empathy and respect for each person’s experience. Existential ideas are woven in when people are facing big questions about purpose or change.
Together these approaches create flexible, down-to-earth work aimed at real-life improvements. Brenda practices in North Dakota and offers services through online formats. Her steady, present style is meant to help people reduce overwhelm and find concrete steps toward the life they want.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and managing intense reactions when stress or relationships feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences, then recommend methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, mood tracking, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress.
