With 15 years of professional experience, she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, career challenges, depression, and transitions related to major life changes.

Dr. Prior cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She recognizes that beginning therapy often takes courage and affirms the importance of that first step, encouraging clients to move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Practical Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Prior uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and build effective coping skills. One common approach she draws on emphasizes the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - helping clients identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that maintain stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms. This approach is useful for managing daily stressors, workplace strain, and mood concerns.

Another strand of her work centers on interpersonal and relationship-focused strategies that look at communication patterns, attachment concerns, and role transitions. These methods can help clients address relationship conflicts, navigate separation or blended family issues, and improve connection and problem solving. Both approaches are practical and goal-oriented, tailored to the concerns a client brings to therapy.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Dr. Prior collaborates with each person to determine which evidence-based techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive support from licensed professionals in a format that works best for the client.
