About Liberty
She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Liberty also supports those facing attachment and abandonment wounds, body image struggles, codependency, commitment and communication challenges, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues.
Her approach blends several techniques to help people notice what’s happening in their minds and bodies. She uses mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to explore different parts of the self and somatic practices to track how feelings show up in the body.
Liberty sometimes brings nature and creative methods into sessions when helpful. That can mean movement, art, ritual, or outdoor-based exercises to open new ways of noticing and responding. She aims to make therapy feel like an invitation rather than a lecture.
People who prefer informal, exploratory work tend to fit well with her style. She invites clients to shape the process and to try practical skills between sessions. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online work
Liberty commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help people manage intense feelings and build steady routines. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication, which can help when stress or relationship strain feels overwhelming. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises that reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing.She also works with Internal Family Systems ideas to identify and dialogue with different parts of the self. That approach helps people untangle inner conflicts and discover gentler ways to respond to old wounds. Together, these methods aim to combine skills practice with curiosity about inner experience rather than only talk-based problem solving.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and preferences, adapting methods as goals evolve. Clients are invited to try strategies in session and report back about what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a workday, audio-only conversations if bandwidth is limited, or scheduling around caregiving responsibilities. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working toward clearer goals.
