Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit a person’s goals.

Dr. Brewer trained in behavioral health and holds a Doctor of Behavioral Health along with master’s degrees in clinical counseling and human services. Her background includes work in military and court settings, veterans’ care, and private practice, which shaped her approach to real-world problems and complex stressors.

In sessions she focuses on what the client wants to change. She works step-by-step, helping people set concrete goals and try specific tools between meetings. Therapy often covers coping skills for stress, sleep, anger, and mood, as well as improving intimacy and family communication.

She offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People who choose to begin can expect a collaborative process that adapts as progress is made.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Brewer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific tools to change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy habits. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment patterns to help people improve closeness and communication in relationships.

She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and adjust the approach as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for more traditional sessions and practice with communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, help maintain momentum between appointments, and fit into busy days.
