Dr. McCants uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. These approaches guide how she helps clients change unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, and strengthen relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual.

With two decades of practice across multiple states, she brings experience with a wide range of concerns from career stress to midlife questions. People who are juggling caregiving responsibilities, facing grief, or navigating a major life shift often seek her perspective. Her background includes licenses as a LICSW and LCSW, and she practices in Georgia.

She encourages people to take the first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. That starting process helps identify priorities and sets clear, manageable steps for moving forward.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer thinking about choices, or help deciding next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress about caregiving or money.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT techniques include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that can help with crisis moments and repeated interpersonal conflicts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it makes fitting sessions into a busy week easier, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Licensed professionals can use these models effectively in remote work while focusing on skills you can apply between sessions.
