She also supports concerns like ADHD, intimacy issues, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She uses a practical approach and speaks English. Dr. Dremann draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Mindfulness methods are included to help people stay present and reduce reactivity.

She lists her credential as CA Psychologist PSY27325. In sessions she mixes approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment. Conversations aim to be practical and down to earth. Sessions can include skill practice, exploring patterns from the past, or brief solution-focused planning. People who start therapy with her can expect direct conversation and collaboration about goals. She treats starting therapy as a step toward change that can feel difficult but worthwhile. Dr. Dremann welcomes questions about how to begin and what a first session will look like.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Dremann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes careful listening and tailoring sessions to a person’s concerns to build trust and clarity. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches each person’s needs over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practice demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
