About Pamela

Pamela (Pam) Skon offers a supportive, strengths-focused approach for people managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes collaboration and helps clients clarify goals, build practical skills, and reconnect with their values so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful. Her practice addresses issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, grief, relationship and family problems, career stress, parenting strains, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Pam blends evidence-based methods with a warm, interactive style that centers the client’s experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment principles to strengthen values-driven action, and attachment-informed work to explore relational patterns.

Licensed to practice as an LICSW and an LCSW, Pam offers remote sessions from Idaho and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients can expect practical strategies, empathic listening, and a collaborative process designed to match interventions to each person’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, depression, and living with chronic challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for panic, low mood, sleep issues, and impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that shape how people connect and respond to others, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, family problems, and struggles rooted in early attachment experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Pam treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adapt methods based on what is most helpful for the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model up front.

Online therapy with Pam is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in regular work on skills, reflection, and problem solving from different settings, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity between sessions.
