She often starts by identifying what matters most to a person and what small steps could change daily life.

Dr. Antis uses therapy methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors. She adjusts pace and focus as clients make progress or face setbacks. People meet to talk through current struggles, practice new skills, and decide on next steps together.

Practical approaches for online work and choosing the right fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stresses that come with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to build insight and confidence. It supports people who need space to process feelings and decide what matters next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Antis will collaborate with each person to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and pace. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay useful and realistic for everyday life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online therapy helps fit work and family schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth or focus is limited. Licensed professionals use these formats so people can access consistent care without rearranging their whole day.
