Background and approach
She emphasizes small, doable changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve functioning. Brenda draws on several evidence-based methods when they match a person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete skills to shift them. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace in therapy. With 35 years of professional experience, she brings steady presence and practical problem-solving.
She has worked with people facing issues such as abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, hoarding, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

She helps people set clear, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. The tone is collaborative and respectful, focused on making changes that last.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Online sessions can teach simple exercises for observing feelings and choosing actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior patterns. In remote sessions Brenda can introduce practical tools, homework, and brief exercises to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist following and supporting their direction rather than directing it.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda treats the choice of methods as a joint decision based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what helps and adjusts techniques so the plan feels useful and manageable for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief touches of support into a busy day or to communicate in writing. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep progress moving forward.
