How Whitney works
She received her LPC in Pennsylvania in 2017 and has worked in psychiatric rehabilitation settings where she supported people pursuing their wellness goals. Her main style is client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and adapts sessions to each person's needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Sessions focus on practical strategies a person can use between meetings. Whitney has worked in individual and group settings and continues continuing education each year to stay current on trauma-informed practices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are. The therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps people set goals that feel achievable. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring feelings, and finding what matters most to the individual.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and practice to shift unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit the person's life and make sessions more useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer typing. Those options give flexibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
