How Zauditu works

She uses approaches that focus on the person’s goals and on practical skills for daily life. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with a focus on small, workable changes. Dr.

McCants holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential in Washington D.C. and Georgia, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in Illinois. She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion when addressing painful experiences such as trauma, grief, and family conflict. The first visits usually involve listening closely to what matters most to the client and setting simple goals.

Over time she helps people build coping tools for anxiety, mood swings, sleep struggles, and stress from caregiving or money worries. She also supports clients working through divorce, communication breakdowns, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Her style balances listening with skills teaching.

People can expect clear steps between sessions, such as practice exercises or thought-monitoring strategies. The work is paced to fit each person’s readiness and daily life.

Online support options

How we use practical approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify priorities so sessions feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; it can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and problems with impulse control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try techniques, adjust the plan, and pick the mix of strategies that fits the client’s daily life and values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a speaker-only check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short updates, quick check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
