Background and approach
Many people come for help with self-esteem, career questions, or feeling stuck during midlife changes. Dr. Treadway draws on several proven approaches to shape therapy to each person.
She uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally-focused techniques to repair connection and intimacy. Mindfulness and narrative work help people notice patterns and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. She brings attention to cultural and identity factors in sessions and helps clients who face discrimination or multicultural stressors.
That means looking at how background and life events affect mood, relationships, and sense of purpose. People who meet with Dr. Treadway can expect straightforward collaboration.
Together they set goals, try clear strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. She aims to create a respectful, hopeful space for steady progress.
Online approaches that focus on thought, feeling, and connection
Client-centered therapy places the client’s priorities at the center of sessions; the therapist follows what matters most and helps people set goals that feel right to them. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, improving communication, and working through identity or multicultural concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing stress with practical exercises to use between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets patterns in close relationships and helps people notice, name, and shift emotional responses that block connection. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, conflict, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy methods include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more traditional sessions that resemble in-person meetings, while phone can work when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, homework follow-up, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit work and family routines.
