About Brenda
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral work, and emotionally-focused methods to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. Brenda also incorporates Jungian perspectives when it fits a person’s goals. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on clear, doable changes rather than jargon.
Brenda has eight years of experience supporting people through issues such as parenting challenges, grief, relationship concerns, addiction recovery, and coping with life changes including midlife transitions. She has also worked with neurodivergent people and those navigating foster and adoptive family dynamics. Her background includes experience in high-stakes settings related to substance abuse recovery and juvenile services.
In sessions she attends to both emotional and practical needs, helping with sleep, anger, executive functioning, and day-to-day coping skills. She emphasizes collaboration and helps people set realistic goals they can use between meetings. The focus is on building balance and a more manageable routine.

How her approaches translate to online care
Brenda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps that reflect those values rather than get stuck in avoidance. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more workable strategies. CBT often helps with sleep problems, depression, and managing anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Brenda works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats and scheduling options before booking. The subscription model for sessions allows appointments to be scheduled around work, caregiving, and other daily demands. Online work can make it easier to fit regular check-ins into a busy week, allow shorter meetings when appropriate, and remove travel time so people can use breaks for a session.
