She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship and family problems. She also supports people coping with grief, mood disorders, body image issues, and the stresses of life change.
Dr. Baker earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Counseling Studies. She has practiced in both agency settings and private practice. That background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum matters, and complex mood or trauma-related presentations.
Her approach uses clear, practical methods. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map thoughts and actions that keep problems going.

Trauma-Focused Therapy informs work with past traumatic experiences.
In sessions she focuses on listening and working through specific problems together. Expect concrete tools and steps to try between meetings. Conversations usually cover how anger shows up, what triggers it, and small experiments to reduce snapping or escalating tension.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr. Baker frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and on testing small changes to see what helps. DBT provides skills for noticing emotions, tolerating distress, and managing intense feelings without acting on them.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach concentrates on listening and helping people find their own reasons to try something different. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; she will work with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, family, and day-to-day life. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief session suits a busy day, or for video discussions when visual cues help skill practice. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to make therapy more workable for everyday schedules.
