Dr. Schwartz holds the credential MI Psychologist 6301006806 and brings 33 years of experience to her practice. She has worked with people new to therapy and with those who have long histories of treatment. She prefers clear, practical steps instead of jargon. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going, then testing simple changes in daily life.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thinking patterns to feelings and behavior. She helps people notice small patterns, try new responses, and measure what actually changes. This makes progress easier to track and keeps work grounded in real life tasks.

Dr. Schwartz also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, hoarding, infidelity, obsessions and compulsions, panic and phobias, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts. She frames these topics in clear language and practical steps rather than clinical labels.

People who choose her often want a direct, talk-and-plan style. She encourages taking the first step and uses a mix of coaching and therapy tools to support concrete change.

How CBT and focused habits work in online therapy

Dr. Schwartz uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and behavior in clear terms. CBT helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, then try small changes to test what helps. This approach is useful for worries, panic, mood problems, and many everyday habits.

She also emphasizes working on everyday habits and coaching-style tasks. That means setting short practical assignments, checking what happened, and adapting the plan in collaboration. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the work and will be decided together based on your goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can remove the need to commute, allow shorter check-ins between obligations, and help you use therapy tools in the same settings where problems happen. A therapist can help you pick approaches and a schedule that match your day-to-day routine rather than promising a particular format.
