Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to coping skills and small changes that add up. Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, eating issues, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people navigating major life changes such as divorce, end-of-life care, and career transitions.
First responder issues, multicultural concerns, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics are additional areas she has worked around. Sessions often address panic, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and the stress that can come with parenting or caregiving. Dr.
Croom emphasizes building self-love, managing anger, and finding purpose when life feels off course. She treats each concern as part of a person’s bigger story rather than as an isolated problem. People who value a collaborative, steady presence may find her style fits well.
She invites clients to take the lead on goals while offering structure and tools to help them move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Croom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building coping skills and improving daily functioning. One common approach emphasizes teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult life events in ways that reduce their hold on day-to-day life, using paced conversation and emotional regulation tools rather than reliving details.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify which techniques feel most helpful and adapts the plan over time based on goals and feedback. Clients help set priorities and decide whether to focus on symptom management, coping during transitions, or long-term healing.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows fuller conversation when visual cues matter, phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text supports short check-ins or written reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
