Background and approach
That first step can feel big, and she aims to make it manageable and clear. In sessions she listens for what matters most and builds straightforward plans with the person in front of her. Conversations include identifying options, practicing coping skills, and trying small changes between sessions.
She also addresses relationship, intimacy, parenting, career, and grief concerns when they come up. Pridgett pays attention to how life events and past hurts shape current reactions. She supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her work also touches on adoption and foster care, attachment, aging, body image, and communication problems. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages practical steps and steady progress.
For people in Maryland who want a clear plan and steady support, she offers a straightforward path forward.
Approaches that guide online care and handy access
Pridgett uses evidence-based methods focused on practical change. One common technique involves helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and stress. This approach is useful for worry, low mood, and day-to-day coping.She also works with behavioral strategies that target habits and routines. That can mean breaking down addictive patterns, building new behaviors, and practicing small steps that add up over time. These techniques are often used for addictions, self-control concerns, and managing symptoms like impulsivity or mood swings.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Pridgett collaborates with each person to select approaches that match their goals and preferences. She checks in as treatment progresses and adjusts plans based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling family, work, and appointments. Sessions can be done by video or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. This mix lets clients keep momentum between sessions and access support when schedules are tight.
