A Thoughtful, Goal-Oriented Approach to Therapy

Therapy here is collaborative, practical, and designed to help you move forward with intention. I work with adults who want support navigating anxiety, reproductive mental health, and major life transitions using evidence-based approaches that translate into real-life change. I am a licensed LMFT providing CBT & ACT via telehealth in California.

My Therapy Approach - Virtual Therapy in California

At Cook Family Therapy, I provide virtual therapy in California, specializing in anxiety, prenatal and postpartum support, infertility-related stress, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based techniques that meet you where you are and help you build meaningful change over time.

What You Can Expect in Therapy

Therapy with me is supportive, intentional, and tailored to your goals. Together, we explore patterns that contribute to anxiety or overwhelm while building practical coping skills you can use in daily life. I emphasize clarity, connection, and actionable strategies over vague, open-ended discussion.

Why Evidence-Based Approaches work for Anxiety, Prenatal, Infertility & Life Transitions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT

CBT helps you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected so you can reframe unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety in real-world situations. This approach is especially effective for high-functioning anxiety and stress management. As a provider of CBT for anxiety in California, I help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice actionable skills that improve day-to-day functioning. Learn more about how CBT works and how it can support anxiety, prenatal, infertility and life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy

For clients who want practical, goal-oriented guidance, I provide solution-focused therapy in California. This approach is practical, forward-looking and emphasizes building on your strengths to create tangible progress and resolve the challenges that matter most to you.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

As an ACT therapist in CA, I guide clients in mindfulness, values-based living, and emotional flexibility. This approach is especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions, as it supports you in clarifying what truly matters to, teaches how to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings with intention and mindfulness, rather than avoidance, and respond more skillfully to difficult thoughts and feelings.
