How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Walker commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping the conversation around what the person needs in the moment.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused concerns and Solution-Focused Therapy when people want faster, goal-oriented change. These approaches can help with communication problems, commitment concerns, and building small, practical steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may be adjusted as progress is made.
