Background and approach
Dr. Legner draws on several well-known approaches and adapts them to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and respond differently to difficult thoughts.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that maintain distress. She also relies on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space. That means the therapist follows the client's pace and helps rebuild healthier ways of relating.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need concrete skills for emotion regulation and problem solving. Sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. In online sessions this can mean short exercises to notice thoughts and plan value-driven steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Remotely, CBT often uses worksheets, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients complete between sessions to track change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to a single path up front.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have deeper conversations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs help outside regular hours. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
