Online and remote therapy options
Brenda offers therapy through a range of remote formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances. Sessions may be conducted by video calls, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it possible to maintain an ongoing dialogue and work on goals without traveling to an office.
She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients learn concrete skills for managing overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is described in-session as a way to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice practical behavioral changes. DBT provides a framework for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness-based approaches are used when exploring relational patterns and internal experience is a central concern. EFT centers on understanding emotional responses within relationships, while mindfulness work supports attention to present-moment experience. Brenda frames treatment as a collaborative process, matching structure and techniques to what each person prefers and finds most helpful for their situation.
