Reba brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions and focuses on what will help day to day.
She has six years of clinical experience across many settings. That work included group homes, residential treatment, crisis centers, detention settings, juvenile drug court, and outpatient practices.
How Reba works
Those roles involved supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and a wide range of mental health concerns. In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Reba emphasizes clear goals and small steps that lead to change.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Reba works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, traumatic brain injury, self-harm, autism and Asperger Syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Reba uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One approach emphasizes learning specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and planning small behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. These techniques help when people need immediate tools to manage strong feelings.Another common approach centers on mood regulation and managing intense emotions. This involves identifying triggers, practicing strategies to reduce reactivity, and building routines that support stability. That work can be useful for depression, bipolar challenges, anger, and disruptive mood patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Reba will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, real-time coaching, or help between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a client’s schedule and everyday needs.
