About Symphony
She emphasizes listening first to understand each person's situation. Sessions are interactive - clients talk through problems and try practical steps between meetings. Symphony mixes tools from cognitive approaches and human-centered work to match what people need in the moment.
Many clients come with grief, parenting stress, or struggles around identity and relationships. She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues. Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family concerns, and communication problems.
Symphony uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered stance. Those approaches inform real exercises like values clarification, behavioral experiments, and emotion-focused conversations.
She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust plans as needed. The aim is practical progress - clearer choices, calmer reactions, and better communication. People who want a straightforward, listening-centered counselor may find her approach helpful.

Approach and online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Symphony will discuss these methods with each person and collaborate on a plan that fits goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting over time so the work stays relevant.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offering alternatives when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals can guide how to use tools from ACT, CBT, and EFT effectively in remote sessions and help adapt exercises to whatever format is arranged.
