Background and approach
She has experience with assessments and with individual and group help. This experience shapes how she listens and plans treatment. In sessions she uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs.
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action. She adds skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing when people need emotion regulation or support making changes. Whitany aims for clear, doable goals.
She helps people learn skills they can use between meetings. Talk and practice combine to make steady progress. She keeps explanations plain and actionable.
Her license is LCSW and she practices in Mississippi. She offers help in English and focuses on the practical steps that help people feel steadier. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and build forward motion.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. In online work ACT can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and building small steps toward that life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered via video or phone, CBT is useful for panic, depression, and anxiety because it includes clear homework and short skill practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or combine methods based on the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin with a conversation about what is most pressing and then try methods that fit the client’s pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, or reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
