Her practice also addresses issues like stress, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addiction, caregiver strain, chronic illness and disability, and intimacy-related problems.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and inviting, emphasizing acceptance and respect for individuals of all races, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Fields commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, often complemented by mindfulness techniques, to address a wide range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own insights and goals. Mindfulness practices focus on present-moment awareness and can help with stress, emotion regulation, and coping with chronic illness and pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Fields works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care without commuting and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their ongoing work with a licensed professional.
