Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Whitany often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when appropriate, teaching practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - a helpful fit for panic, intense emotions, and relational challenges. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Whitany works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts her plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Whitany is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within her service area. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused support.
