Gottman Method
Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.

Gottman Method
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

Gottman Method
Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
