Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in what matters most to the client. Her background includes a master’s degree in social work and five years of clinical experience.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and day-to-day life

Kandie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and usually happens together. Kandie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adapt the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative so changes can be made if something does not fit.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
