She works with a broad range of concerns, including depression, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges.

She aims to make space for difficult topics and to help people set realistic steps toward change. People who choose her can expect a collaborative pace.
The focus is on what matters most to the individual client, whether that is managing overwhelm, coping with loss, or improving daily routines and focus. Practical tools and steady support are central to her approach.
Approaches that guide online work
Pridgett draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world changes. One common approach centers on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - clients learn specific breathing, grounding, and thought-pattern strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies for addictions and ADHD-related challenges - this involves breaking tasks into smaller steps, building routines, and planning responses to triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needs and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a more conversational session with facial cues. Phone sessions can work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, jotting down strategies between sessions, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between meetings.
