How Fonda works
That background informs her practical, down-to-earth approach to care. Fonda works with mood disorders, panic and anxiety, obsessive and compulsive concerns, and issues around self-esteem and isolation. She also helps people facing abandonment and attachment challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and life transition struggles such as midlife crisis and questions about life purpose.
Her practice integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques and attachment perspectives to address guilt, shame, impulsivity, and difficulties related to narcissism and personality concerns.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Fonda incorporates proven therapeutic techniques and attachment ideas to guide work during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression by trying new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening emotional regulation when impulses or strong reactions cause problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to prioritize and how to pace the work.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and offer flexible ways to check in between obligations. It can also allow for a quicker transition back into day-to-day life after a session, which helps people practice skills in real situations without rearranging their whole schedule.
