Dr. Walsh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness-based techniques to address unhelpful thinking and habitual reactions.

Her background includes a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from Florida Tech, a master’s in counseling from Florida State University, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and English literature from Cornell University. She also completed post-graduate training in neuropsychological assessment and holds a post-doctoral masters in clinical psychopharmacology.

Dr. Walsh has treated a broad range of concerns across the life span and has experience with neuropsychological impairment related to traumatic brain injury and similar conditions. She helps parents with behavioral management for children and teens and addresses family relationship difficulties through individual work.
Outside of practice she maintains an active meditation routine and enjoys cooking, gardening, yoga, kickboxing, and caring for companion animals. She emphasizes practical strategies that fit into busy lives and helps people build steady habits that support daily functioning.
How CBT and Mindfulness are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on practical steps to change thinking and behavior. It helps clients notice specific unhelpful thoughts, test those thoughts with real-life experiments, and try different responses to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. This approach often includes homework exercises and short in-session skill practice. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and nonreactive attention. It can help reduce rumination and improve emotion regulation by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that clients can use during stress or panic. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest CBT, mindfulness, or a combination based on those factors. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods over time. This profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Ask about session length and any platform details when scheduling to ensure the format fits daily routines.Areas of expertise
