About Dustie
Dustie brings a warm, direct style to sessions. She treats people with respect and dignity and sees them as the experts on their own lives. She does not rely on labels to decide treatment and prefers to build a plan around each person's goals and strengths.
Her clinical work includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions such as EMDR when appropriate. Dustie uses these tools to address problems like anxiety, PTSD, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
People who meet with her can expect practical steps alongside listening and validation. Conversations often include skill-building, goal setting, and strategies to manage strong emotions or recurring patterns. Dustie also offers coaching-style support for career, parenting, and relationship questions.
If someone is facing the stresses of aging, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, or the impacts of chronic pain or cancer, she brings experience with those topics. Dustie aims to collaborate on a treatment path that fits each person's situation and values.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to set goals and priorities. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and make choices about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and disordered sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma work is appropriate.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through symptoms, goals, and any past treatment to find methods that feel right. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since current options are listed at the time of scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows consistent contact during periods of high stress or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can offer the same therapeutic techniques online that they use in person, with adjustments to exercises and homework to suit remote sessions.
