How Whitney works
Before offering online care she worked in addiction counseling, community clinics, and school social work across different levels of care. Those roles shaped her approach and gave her experience with mood disorders, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and substance use issues. Whitney blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Sessions look like focused conversations where problems are named, coping skills are practiced, and small, realistic goals are set. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and stay present. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, communication problems, codependency, and young adult transitions.
Her work includes both individual and group formats and aims to build skills people can use after therapy ends. People can expect an approachable, nonjudgmental presence and a practical plan for change. Whitney emphasizes collaboration, finding what fits each person’s life, and using simple tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

How Whitney’s Approaches Work Online
Whitney often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. In sessions she helps identify unhelpful thinking, practice alternative responses, and try small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on each person’s experience. The therapist listens with curiosity and reflects what matters to the client, so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. That style supports motivation and clearer decision-making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Whitney will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates to shape the plan and can combine methods like mindfulness or motivational interviewing when helpful.
Online sessions come in video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone helps when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines and keep continuity when life is busy.
