Background and approach
That can mean developing new routines, practicing different ways to respond under stress, or learning how to communicate more clearly with others. Dr. DeArth-Pendley draws on approaches that emphasize relationships and everyday coping.
She brings together attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She also uses existential and Gottman-informed ideas for people thinking about meaning, relationships, and values. Her background includes training at the University of Notre Dame and many years working in outpatient and inpatient settings across several states.
She has supported people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, relationship conflict, burnout, and grief over life changes. Her style is warm and practical. She offers clear guidance, encouragement, and concrete tools tailored to each person's goals.
Parents and adults who want to reduce stress, improve focus, or repair important relationships will find direct, skills-based help.
How attachment and cognitive work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase trust. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect, letting the therapist follow each person's pace and priorities while offering empathy and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, attention difficulties, and mood changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship patterns, skills practice, or values and meaning in the session plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
