Background and approach

With three decades of clinical experience and an LPC license, she focuses on meeting clients where they are and tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients develop practical coping skills and clearer goals.

Herndon’s approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques so therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. She draws from cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools to assemble a flexible toolkit for each client.

That eclectic orientation supports work on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting challenges, and issues such as body image, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. Located in the District of Columbia, Dr.

Herndon aims to create a trusting space where clients can explore values, identity, and life transitions. She frames the first step toward change as a courageous move and works with clients to build resilience, increase self-understanding, and identify practical next steps toward wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Flexibility

Dr. Herndon frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and supporting clients as they explore personal goals and values; this approach helps people feel heard and empowered to make changes. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills work. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help clients clarify motivation and strengthen commitment to change when facing addictions or ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; she collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their priorities, life circumstances, and goals. Over time, techniques may be adjusted as progress is made and new needs emerge. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support between in-person alternatives, and integrate therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional.
