Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Online therapy is such a wonderful opportunity to do deep and powerful therapeutic work in a way that is both convenient and secure. I want all my clients, online and in person, to feel the same warmth and compassion as we work through situations and experiences. In much of the same way that we do in person, my online work is based around building a supportive therapeutic relationship. In therapy, potential for healing and growth occurs through through the relationship that we build together. I really enjoy working with clients who are trying to figure out how to manage or explore the difficult feelings – sometimes anxiety and depression - that can emerge during self-exploration, identity development, life changes, working on relationship issues among monogamous and poly/ENM/CNM people, career or work shifts, LGBTQIA+ clients, and so much more. Work with me often involves exploring patterns, looking at the imprints of families of origin, and addressing ways in which those long past experiences come up in the present.

Anna Urbaniak
Psychologist, PhD
At Mindfully Balanced NJ, I specialize in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. My goal is to help clients understand the root of their struggles and build practical tools to move toward a calmer, more values-driven life.
I provide tailored, research-supported therapies including:
💠 Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – The gold-standard treatment for OCD and related anxiety disorders. Together, we gently face fears and reduce compulsions to restore freedom and confidence.
💠 Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) – A unique approach to OCD that targets the faulty reasoning process behind intrusive doubts, helping you trust your senses and intuition again.
💠 Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – An evidence-based trauma treatment designed to help you reprocess painful experiences and release self-blame.
💠 Prolonged Exposure (PE) – A structured and compassionate approach to help you safely confront trauma memories, reduce avoidance, and reclaim your sense of safety.
💠 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Helps you stop fighting your thoughts and instead live more fully through acceptance, mindfulness, and value-driven action.
💠 Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB) Work – Specialized interventions for hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking, and nail biting using habit reversal and acceptance-based tools.
💠 Insomnia Treatment – Cognitive and behavioral strategies to restore restful sleep without dependency on medication.
💠 Mindfulness-Based Interventions – Practical techniques to anchor you in the present moment, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who performs, leads, manages, and keeps going no matter what. From the outside, you look capable and composed. But inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to sleep. What used to feel manageable now feels impossible. You are tired of white-knuckling your way through a life that looks successful on paper, but feels unsustainable in reality.
I’m Dr. Gayle MacBride, a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I work with high-achieving adults navigating burnout, insomnia, relationship strain, trauma, and relentless internal pressure. Many of my clients have already tried pushing through on their own. They are not looking for generic advice or passive therapy. They want experienced, evidence-based care that is practical, strategic, and built for meaningful change.
My approach is direct, compassionate, and active. We identify what is driving the distress, define clear goals, and use a structured plan to help you move forward. Depending on your needs, I draw from CBT for anxiety and depression, CBT-I for insomnia, Prolonged Exposure and CPT for trauma, and Gottman-informed skills for relationship concerns. For couples who feel unsure whether to stay together, separate, or recommit, I also offer Discernment Counseling. This is therapy designed to help you sleep better, think more clearly, feel more grounded, and function in a way that is effective and sustainable.
I offer telehealth for clients in 40+ states, and in-person visits for people in the Southern Metro of Minneapolis. If you are ready to stop performing wellness and start making real changes, I’m here to help.

I offer a free 20-minute consult to see if we are a good match.

I offer virtual therapy sessions that are collaborative, practical, and focused on building coping skills that create lasting change.
I work with clients seeking support for stress management, anxiety relief, depression treatment, ADHD strategies, sleep improvement, and burnout recovery. My goal is to help you feel more in control, improve daily functioning, and move toward a more balanced and meaningful life.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with animals and attending concerts. I strive to create a supportive, comfortable online therapy space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Your story needs to be fully heard to begin the healing process. Together, we explore ways to help you live and act according to your values. I help you develop skills for today to allow you to live mindfully in the present, make peace with the past, and create a life of meaning and purpose for the future. I hold board certifications in health psychology and behavioral sleep medicine, which demonstrate the highest level of competency in these fields. These certifications allow me to help people with stressors that impact the body and mind. My grandmother, an indigenous healer, is a prominent presence in my life. She inspired my love of holistic healing practices. When appropriate, I frequently integrate clinical hypnosis and somatic approaches to help clients strengthen the mind-body connection.
