She also works with concerns related to parenting, eating and body image, ADHD, and identity issues related to LGBT status. Dr. Myers approaches care with respect, warmth, and a nonjudgmental style.
Her approach blends practical, evidence-based methods with a focus on relationships and emotions.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel collaborative and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dr.
Myers has worked across a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, mood disorders like bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns, and co-occurring conditions. She also supports people facing life changes, career stress, caregiver strain, and the fallout from abandonment or adoption issues. Sessions aim to address both symptoms and the situations that keep problems going.
Her style is practical and compassionate. She uses skills training from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or strong reactions get in the way. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when attachment and closeness are central to the problem.
People can expect straightforward talk, coaching, and skill-building tailored to their goals. Dr. Myers invites clients to share their story and works together with them to set clear steps toward feeling better.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape reactions today and helps people notice and change patterns that cause distance or anxiety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's own goals, offering empathy and acceptance while the person leads the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right blend of these approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, preferences, and goals, and then recommend strategies to try. This makes the plan feel collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
