She works with people on stress, anxiety, anger, ADHD, sleeping problems, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

Sessions prioritize clear goals and practical steps. Dr. Livingston blends short-term, solution-focused work with skills-based CBT and mindfulness practice. She aims to help people reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and gain clearer direction for next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the goals a person sets for themselves. Online sessions using this approach often center on open conversation, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting to address daily challenges and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior. Online CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills between sessions, and using brief worksheets or exercises to track progress for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. In an online setting this can mean guided breathing or short attention exercises during a session and homework to build consistent practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and together decide which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The original biography referenced use of a messaging feature on the platform and noted video and phone caseloads were full at that time, so check available options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into work or family routines, allow brief check-ins between appointments, and support hands-on practice of CBT and mindfulness skills without requiring travel.
