Background and approach
Dr. Pritchard uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are central to current struggles. She explains techniques clearly and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Many people come for help sorting grief, rebuilding confidence, or adjusting after big life events. Others look for support when caregiving becomes overwhelming or when facing hospice and end-of-life decisions. Her approach blends symptom-focused tools with conversations about meaning and values.
She holds a licensed clinical social worker credential, LCSW, and is licensed in both New York and Florida. Dr. Pritchard works with English-speaking clients and provides sessions through several online formats to fit different needs.
Online approaches for grief, trauma, and change
Dr. Pritchard commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and practical coping skills for day-to-day life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term approach that centers on identifying goals and building on existing strengths. This method is useful for people who want clear steps and fast progress toward specific problems.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework, or when writing thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, care duties, or travel plans.
