About B.
B. Misty Wycoff is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings long experience to help people facing addiction, relationship strain, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady guidance to those looking for clearer choices and better forward steps. Her first aim is to make the initial move feel manageable and not shameful.
With four decades of professional work, Misty draws on many years in private practice and past work supporting nurses and physicians in recovery. She frames therapy as a collaborative conversation where people name the problems that matter most and test small changes between sessions. She emphasizes practical coping skills alongside talking through painful history.
Misty uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help sort unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationships shape current expectations in intimacy and connection.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to clarify personal values that guide next steps. Existential themes can appear when people question meaning after loss, separation, or major life shifts.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete, doable changes: building healthier boundaries, addressing codependency, managing urges tied to substance use, and improving communication. If someone wants help, Misty invites them to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that fit their values. Online sessions can use ACT to practice noticing thoughts in the moment and planning value-driven steps between visits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. In teletherapy those conversations can help people spot repeating patterns in friendships and romantic connections and try new ways of communicating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday life. That choice can change over time as new issues come up or progress is made. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for sessions when a quick check-in is more helpful than a full in-person visit. Different formats also let people choose quieter settings, use less bandwidth, or have shorter follow-ups when needed.Areas of expertise
