In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to uncover what matters most to each person and fuel personal goals. Dr.

Foggle also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe stories people tell themselves and to build concrete plans that move life forward. For trauma-related work she integrates trauma-focused methods to address difficult memories and their current effects. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where someone can speak freely about fear, shame, guilt, or anger.

Meetings are collaborative - she listens and helps you choose strategies that fit your daily life. Practical concerns like caregiving stress, attachment tensions, communication problems, and struggles around divorce or separation are within her stated focus. Her work also covers issues such as burnout, career stress, and social anxiety, always with an emphasis on realistic tools and steady progress.

Online approaches that meet daily life needs

Dr. Foggle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life harder; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to you and helps build motivation for change, which is helpful when making shifts around parenting, career decisions, or coping habits.

She also pulls in narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe their personal stories and create short-term plans that produce real movement. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, tries methods, and adjusts based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats let people connect from home, between errands, or during breaks, making it easier to keep momentum. The variety of options supports different communication styles and practical constraints while working toward steady progress.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
