How sessions work
How her approaches are used for online work
Dr. Tatum uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways online. CBT helps people notice thinking patterns that increase anxiety or keep them stuck and then practice different responses. It often suits concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and codependency-related behaviors.The therapist frames treatment as collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which techniques to try and to set concrete goals. That means checking in on what helps, adjusting plans, and answering questions together rather than prescribing a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules because they can avoid travel and schedule shorter check-ins during a work break. Online work also makes it possible to bring real-life examples from home into a session for practice and problem-solving. Licensed professionals adapt homework, thought records, and behavior experiments so they work across different session types and daily routines.
