How Ondria works
Ondria often blends structured techniques with conversations about values and meaning to help people make concrete changes in daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to reduce distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and help clients move toward goals they care about.
Sessions focus on small, usable steps as well as understanding the stories people tell about themselves. Ondria has worked in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings and has experience with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients. She has served as a clinical director for residential and outpatient programs and now maintains an independent practice in Tennessee.
Her faith informs her perspective when clients wish to include it in therapy. People who want a therapist who mixes evidence-informed tools with attention to values and relationships may find her practical, steady approach helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the impact of traumatic experiences and uses targeted strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new issues arise or progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in quickly and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
