She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and addiction.

She uses clear, direct conversation to help clients understand what’s happening and why it matters. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room to talk through feelings and daily challenges.

Background and approach

Whitney listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then works collaboratively on small changes that add up. Her background includes work with addiction programs, medication-assisted treatment settings, and therapeutic groups. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with substance use and process addictions.

She also brings experience supporting parents and those coping with family conflict and parenting stress. Whitney blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. She includes mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

These approaches are used to address grief, trauma, mood changes, and problems with self-esteem. People who choose Whitney often want clear communication, steady feedback, and help building practical skills. She explains options and helps clients pick strategies that fit their life.

Sessions are offered in formats that work for busy schedules and differing needs.

Online support

How emotion and skills work in online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming emotions, then using those insights to change patterns in relationships and personal responses. It can help when people feel stuck in repeated arguments, withdraw from partners, or have trouble trusting their own feelings.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist reflects what is heard, supports self-direction, and helps clients clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Choosing an approach often happens together. Whitney will talk with each person about what feels useful, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to match goals and comfort levels.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or regular support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people pick what fits their day and energy.
