Background and approach
She brings 13 years of clinical practice as an LMFT and emphasizes practical, strengths-based work that helps clients move toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and renewed purpose. Her style integrates solution-focused strategies with attachment-informed understanding and cognitive techniques to address patterns that keep individuals and relationships stuck.
Dr. Pitts-Bounds centers the whole person, attending to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions in ways that align with clients’ values.
She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and uses client-centered ways of relating that prioritize empathy and collaboration. Based in Delaware, she offers a mix of coaching, speaking, and counseling grounded in cultural awareness and long-term commitment to community well-being.
Her background in educational leadership and family therapy informs an approach that balances practical tools with exploration of deeper relational dynamics.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr. Pitts-Bounds commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping clients improve trust, closeness, and communication. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps and small changes that move people toward their goals, which is useful for addressing relationship issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it easier to manage emotions and respond differently in stressful situations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapts methods over time, combining techniques when that best serves progress. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays aligned with what feels most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, family, or travel. These formats make it possible to access consistent support without geographic barriers and allow for varied ways to engage with therapeutic tools, homework, and coaching between sessions.
