Background and approach

She practices as an LMHC in Florida and draws on more than two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and challenges such as low self-esteem and career stress.

Her approach blends practical skills with attention to relational patterns so clients can learn tools for symptom relief while exploring how early relationships and current attachments shape present difficulties. With 23 years in the field, Dr.

Myers adapts interventions to fit each person’s goals and circumstances. She has worked across many issues including mood disorders, parenting and family stressors, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, and complex trauma-related problems such as dissociation and domestic violence.

Known for a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance, she emphasizes collaboration and validation while supporting clients to build coping strategies and clearer communication. When clients are ready to engage, she offers structured methods alongside a warm therapeutic presence to promote practical change and greater self-understanding.

Using CBT and Attachment Work in Online Sessions

Dr. Myers often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address both symptoms and relational patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive urges. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships influence present emotional responses and patterns in close connections, which can be helpful for issues like trust, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, review symptom patterns and relationship concerns, and adapt methods over time so the treatment fits the individual's needs and preferences. Together they decide whether more skills-based CBT, attachment exploration, or a blend of both will best support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and use different communication styles for skill practice and emotional processing with licensed professionals.
