She has experience supporting mothers with postpartum depression and anxiety and helps people dealing with parenting stress.
Her background includes five years in clinical social work and the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Gardner combines talking, skill practice, and goal-setting rather than lengthy academic explanations.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects what is said, and works alongside the client to set meaningful goals. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental conversation and practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways of thinking, and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings to reduce anxiety and phobic avoidance.
Motivational Interviewing supports changes by clarifying the client’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and plan achievable steps toward a goal.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with the client to pick methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences. She may use a mix of approaches and will check in to see what is helping and what can be adjusted.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time.
