Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools are needed. Dr.
Lenard also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult life stories. Existential themes are woven in when clients are facing big questions about meaning, choice, or life stages. She adapts methods based on what each person needs rather than following a single protocol.
Common concerns she addresses include depression, anger, addictions, sleep problems, grief, career strain, and parenting stress. She supports people working through identity and discrimination issues, including LGBT and multicultural concerns. Additional areas of focus include obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and midlife or aging questions.
Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. Sessions are meant to be practical and solution-focused while still honoring difficult emotions. People who want clear tools alongside thoughtful listening often find this approach helpful.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and for managing ADHD-related routines and focus challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who want steadier day-to-day coping often benefit from DBT techniques.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then shape a plan together. This collaborative process helps make the work useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
