Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care

Dr. Malika Dandridge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which means she draws from approaches that are widely used in professional counseling and supported by research and clinical practice. In online therapy, this can include structured skills for managing stress and anxiety, such as identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing more balanced ways of responding to difficult situations. It can also involve trauma-informed strategies that help clients make sense of how past experiences may still affect mood, self-esteem, and relationships, while moving at a pace that feels manageable.

She also brings a focus on attachment-related concerns, particularly for adult women working through the impact of negative father-daughter relationships from childhood. This kind of work often involves noticing recurring relationship patterns, strengthening self-love, and building healthier boundaries and expectations over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Dandridge collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful before, adjusting the work as needs become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility without losing connection. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, and support can also be available through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
