She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career or life-change difficulties.

Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with specific steps to practice between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Walker commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It suits stress, anxiety, and mood concerns where concrete skills and homework help. ACT emphasizes values and flexible responding; it supports coping with grief, life changes, and persistent distress by helping people act in line with what matters to them.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter visit is useful. Some approaches, like CBT, translate well to short skill-focused sessions and home practice, while ACT can be used for values-based planning that fits daily life.
