Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Dr. Adrienne Whitt uses cognitive behavioral and trauma-informed approaches along with psychodynamic perspectives to guide therapy. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood, making them useful for stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past harms affect present reactions and emphasizes safety, pacing, and respect for a person's experience, which can support healing from abuse, attachment wounds, and compassion fatigue. Psychodynamic work explores deeper patterns and family-of-origin influences to help clients gain insight into recurring relationship and emotional themes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Whitt works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she may integrate techniques from multiple models to fit the situation. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities, and they allow ongoing support from wherever a client is located.
