Background and approach
She holds a Doctor of Education in Counseling Psychology and earlier degrees in psychology. Her clinical background has included work with grief, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, parenting challenges, and behavioral concerns in many settings. She uses client-centered methods to focus on each person’s goals and experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when people need help spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. Solution-focused ideas help people build small, concrete steps when larger problems feel overwhelming. Dr.
Mentor draws on personal life experience alongside professional work. She has navigated loss, caregiving, cancer survival, divorce and remarriage, and parenting while maintaining a long clinical career. That combination shapes a practical, empathetic approach geared toward everyday life demands.
Sessions include listening, skill-building, and practical resources or exercises people can try between meetings. The aim is to reduce distress and find clearer ways to manage stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationship strain, and other concerns.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at a pace that feels right for the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through stressful events, grief, caregiving strain, or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will hear about a person's goals and preferences, then suggest using client-centered work, CBT, or solution-focused techniques as a team decision. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to immediate concerns and longer-term change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options give flexibility for parents and adults balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
