Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events keep causing distress in daily life.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills people can use between meetings. Artrice helps people dealing with a wide range of concerns such as attachment struggles, abandonment fears, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, and loneliness. She also supports people facing divorce, domestic violence histories, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife changes.
Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients build coping skills and clearer decision making. People meet by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging, and scheduling is arranged through a short matching process. Artrice holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. The therapist helps people name their priorities and supports them as they decide what change looks like. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and managing daily challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for short check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, caregiving, or other obligations.
