She draws on cognitive-behavioral methods alongside person-centered listening and solution-focused steps.

Expect a straightforward style that highlights strengths and concrete skills. Treatment often weaves together goal-focused work, mindfulness-based practices, and motivational techniques to support change. The emphasis is on practical tools you can use between sessions.

Language of service is English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Mansfield often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. That approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding next steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and simple coping practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tasks to work in virtual appointments so the work continues between sessions.
