When useful, she blends emotion-focused work with problem-solving to handle both feelings and daily tasks. Dr. Gunter helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship trouble, parenting strain, grief, anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related struggles.
She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, and communication problems. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She supports people through life transitions like divorce, career shifts, and aging-related changes.
She also assists with building self-esteem, managing stress, and improving intimacy and commitment in relationships.
Using attachment and cognitive approaches in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape current relationships. It focuses on understanding emotional patterns and improving how people connect with partners and family members, which can help with intimacy and communication concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches small, practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines for anxiety, stress, and everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. That shared planning helps shape sessions so they address both feelings and daily tasks.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to get care. Video calls make it possible to have full conversations and read facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send notes between sessions, use brief check-ins, or get support without scheduling a full video visit. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to maintain steady progress.
