She draws on advanced training in behavioral health and multiple graduate degrees to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, and a broad set of life transitions. Her background combines clinical knowledge with a focus on culturally responsive, compassionate care.
Her work emphasizes listening for each person’s story and supporting practical change through evidence-based strategies. She integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work to help clients manage symptoms, improve communication, and build resilience.
Dr. Boone aims to create an affirming environment where exploration and growth are central.

She also attends to complex situations involving chronic illness, attachment wounds, and co-morbid presentations, tailoring interventions to individual needs while honoring personal values and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and build actions that reflect those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. ACT can be helpful for stress, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that interfere with meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and developing concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods and pace fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life, whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation by video or shorter check-ins via messaging.
