Her practice is based in North Carolina and she provides services in English. Nettie supports people who want a therapist that listens, reflects back what matters, and helps build small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps shape goals the client chooses. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a supportive space to sort things out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep anxiety, panic, or depression stuck. CBT is useful for panic attacks, mood shifts, and coping with stressors.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life. Short breathing or grounding practices can make intense moments easier to manage and support overall emotional balance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and focused on real-life changes.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, for example by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in virtual work, helping clients practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
