Background and approach
Her background includes work across settings that serve children, teens, and adults with emotional and behavioral challenges. That variety informs practical choices in sessions. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps.
Dr. Cannady blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients learn skills and try small changes. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen relationships and build self-awareness.

Midlife challenges, aging concerns, and feelings of isolation are also in her practice focus.
Her work is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect empathy, direct feedback, and tools to practice between meetings. The goal is to help people create workable change and feel more confident in daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that align with personal values. It helps people who get stuck in worry or avoidance to try small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and mood concerns by offering concrete strategies to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels manageable and adjusting methods as progress is made so goals stay realistic and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper skill work and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, practice prompts, and asynchronous support between meetings. These options offer flexibility so people can keep momentum while balancing daily responsibilities.
