How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation starts with the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and test whether they help or hinder everyday coping; it is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on building what already works, which can help people make steady progress between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Whitney will help figure out which method or combination fits best based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use written exercises between sessions and apply new skills in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote settings so clients can work on stress, mood, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and coping skills without changing the core therapy work.
