Background and approach
She helps people work through difficult memories, manage overwhelming emotions, and build skills to cope with everyday pressures.

She also supports people dealing with postpartum mood changes, dissociation, obsessive or impulsive behaviors, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters.

Evidence-based approaches and how online therapy fits
Malori uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people process difficult experiences and build coping skills. One commonly used approach focuses on processing and making sense of painful memories so they feel less overwhelming; this can help with trauma-related symptoms and distressing memories. Another approach emphasizes practical skill-building to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pace, tools, and homework to fit what actually helps the individual move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video visits let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, more frequent touchpoints for skill practice and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
