About Dale
Dale treats anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress by focusing on real-life changes people can use. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and challenges tied to relationships and family dynamics. Jealousy, control issues, and midlife transitions are among the additional concerns she addresses.
Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She listens, reflects back what she hears, and works with each person to set achievable goals. Dale uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping tools and change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are part of her toolbox for managing intense feelings and building tolerance for discomfort. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how people connect with others. Sessions aim to translate insight into practical steps for daily life.
Dale holds LPC and LCPC credentials across multiple states and draws on long clinical experience to tailor therapy to individual needs. People who want clear steps, steady support, and a collaborative plan often look to her for guidance and steady pacing.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Dale commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as work progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep regular appointments during life transitions, and use brief check-ins when time is limited. It also allows practicing skills in real-life settings and reviewing that work together during sessions. Ask about current session options when you start so scheduling matches your daily routine and goals.
