Telehealth options and approach
Milliann integrates structured skill work with attention to emotional experience when working remotely. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for coping with stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used to teach specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those needs arise.
When relationship patterns or attachment questions are central, she incorporates Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based perspectives to explore how emotions and early bonds influence current interactions. Client-Centered principles guide the pace and focus of work so that goals are set collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered through video calls and phone sessions, with additional options for live chat and text-based messaging. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between longer sessions, and flexible ways to engage while working toward the client’s stated goals.
