Dyer practices in Georgia and brings a client-centered stance that combines evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method are among the approaches she uses to help clients explore patterns, build coping strategies, and improve relationships.

Prospective clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership focused on practical progress and personal strengths.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits

Dr. Dyer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns and develop workable strategies. CBT focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood management. ACT emphasizes values and psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action steps that align with their priorities.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Dr. Dyer works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and the particular challenges they bring, then tailors methods and exercises to fit those needs. Clients can expect ongoing conversation about what is helping and adjustments as therapy progresses to ensure the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy with Dr. Dyer is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from various locations including international clients, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
