About Autumn
She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical steps - naming difficult feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying new coping strategies between meetings. Autumn aims to create an open space where people can talk without judgment and try small changes that fit their daily life.
Autumn holds a Master of Social Work, and she is credentialed as LCSW and LICSW. She brings about 13 years of professional experience across community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That variety informs her flexible, down-to-earth approach.
People who work with her often build skills for managing cravings, reducing panic and worry, setting boundaries, and navigating grief. Autumn encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she partners with clients to set realistic goals.
Outside of practice she spends time with her son and two dogs, enjoys running and CrossFit, and follows the Green Bay Packers. She describes therapy as a courageous step and offers supportive coaching through change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and work through the effects of traumatic experiences. It often involves pacing, grounding practices, and clear steps to reduce overwhelming reactions so daily life feels more manageable.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions that move someone toward the life they care about.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match strategies to a client’s goals, needs, and comfort. That might mean blending Trauma-Focused techniques with ACT or adding mindfulness and CBT tools based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, such as reducing travel time, allowing a faster check-in between errands or work, or choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people learn coping skills, handle stress, manage cravings, and practice new behaviors in real life.
