About Riley

Background and approach

That background means she has supported people through crises, loss, family conflict, and big life changes. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families to build routines, safety, and clearer boundaries. In sessions she uses evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

She pairs those tools with straightforward problem-solving for parenting, relationships, and daily stress. Sessions often focus on skills you can practice between meetings so progress carries into family life. Riley also pays attention to issues that commonly come up with identity and recovery.

She lists LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and body image concerns, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas. Other topics she supports include ADHD, depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, and social anxiety. If you want a practical, warm approach to family or parenting challenges, Riley offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence.

She helps people find manageable changes that fit real family schedules and needs.

How CBT and online sessions support family life

Riley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and common parenting stresses by teaching clear skills to try between sessions.

The work is collaborative. Riley will help clients choose techniques and build a plan based on goals, family routines, and what feels manageable. Together they track small wins and adjust the approach if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match busy family schedules. These options let parents fit short check-ins or longer sessions into their week without extra travel. The variety also makes it easier to practice skills in real time and to follow up with brief messages when questions come up between appointments.

Overall, combining CBT with flexible online formats can make therapy more practical for families. It aims to bring tools straight into daily life so progress carries over to parenting, relationships, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
