Gretchen supports individuals facing family conflicts, workplace stress, caregiver burnout, mood disorders, relationship transitions, and other complicated emotional experiences. She draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor care to what will best help each client move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gretchen commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so individuals feel understood and able to explore their values and goals; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and coping strategies, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Gretchen works with clients to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques and pacing so the work feels like a good fit. This collaborative stance helps people feel involved in shaping their own care.
Online therapy with Gretchen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options increase flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or mobility concerns and allow consistent access to a licensed professional from the places that work best for each client.
