She also addresses communication problems, workplace issues, money and financial worries, and building self-love. Sessions involve talking through specific problems and planning doable next steps to manage them.
Dr. White draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress and to improve confidence and decision-making at work. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and tests small behavioral changes that can make daily life easier.
Clients can expect goal-focused sessions where progress is tracked and the plan is adjusted as needed. The therapist asks questions, offers observations, and helps set short-term tasks between meetings. This approach keeps work focused and practical while addressing deeper concerns over time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Dr. White works from a strengths-based framework and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress and anxiety and to improve self-esteem and workplace functioning. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioral activation involves planning small, doable activities to increase engagement and lift motivation during low periods.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted collaboratively as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow more frequent check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work on coping skills between in-person appointments or when in-person meetings are not practical.
