Farrow integrates worksheets and practical exercises into sessions to reinforce skills learned in therapy and supports clients coping with complex life changes, compulsive behaviors, and impulse control concerns.

Her training includes trauma-focused methods and somatic approaches that complement cognitive and mindfulness tools when addressing anxiety, hyperactivity, or histories of complex trauma. She brings a strengths-based perspective, encouraging clients to identify personal resources and take gradual steps toward greater resiliency.

Available to work with adults in Virginia, Farrow offers a collaborative style that centers client goals and preferences. Prospective clients can expect a composed, goal-oriented approach that blends skill-building with compassionate support to navigate difficult transitions and improve daily functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Licensed professionals often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, or problematic behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve skills practice and structured exercises that translate well to remote formats.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings a focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT skills can be taught in short, clear steps and practiced between sessions to support impulse control, mood instability, and intense emotions. Trauma-focused methods are also available for those processing past traumatic experiences, using targeted techniques to reduce trauma-related distress while pacing treatment to the client's readiness.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor which methods to emphasize and how to pace skill learning. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work during transitions. These formats support ongoing skill practice, routine check-ins, and timely coaching between sessions, helping clients apply what they learn to real-life situations.
