About Misty
With 22 years of experience, Misty blends straightforward talk with practical tools. She listens for patterns in thoughts and everyday habits and helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more capable.
Misty uses several approaches to guide her work, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives. She draws on these methods to address specific issues like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression, eating-related concerns, and grief. She explains options clearly and helps people find what fits their needs.
Her background also includes teaching undergraduate psychology and counseling courses since 2001, both online and in person. That classroom experience informs how she explains concepts and teaches practical skills. Misty holds LMHC and LPC credentials and practices in Pennsylvania.
People who choose her typically want respectful, goal-focused work that considers mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual sides of life. To begin, she asks about current challenges and priorities, then develops a plan for next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on understanding their perspective. It helps people feel heard and develop their own answers to tough problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts link to feelings and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process can include testing strategies for changing thoughts and everyday habits and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use a mix of talk and skill practice that people can apply between meetings, helping change daily routines and thought patterns without promising a particular outcome.
