She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

Dr. Myers has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, parenting stress, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and career challenges. She also addresses complex topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Her style combines active listening with structured skill-building. People can expect practical homework between meetings and a collaborative plan that matches their goals. She aims to make sessions focused and understandable so progress feels tangible.

Therapy is offered in multiple online formats, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription-based system that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Myers commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and managing cravings. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and reactions, which can help with relationship struggles, trust issues, and patterns that repeat over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This means sessions can mix structured skill practice with deeper conversations about emotions and relationships until a good fit emerges.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and detailed skill coaching, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
