Background and approach
Dr. Cannady is a Qualified Board Supervisor with the State of Mississippi for Licensed Professional Counselors and uses that background to guide clinical thinking and case planning. Her style is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused.
Sessions move at a practical pace. She listens for what matters most and helps people try different ways to manage symptoms and improve daily life. Work may include grounding skills, behavior changes, and building clearer communication patterns.
Dr. Cannady has experience supporting people with family-related stress, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, impulsivity, and issues around abandonment or attachment. She also addresses midlife challenges, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Her approach combines talk and body-focused awareness to help people notice how stress shows up and what can help. People who choose to work with her can expect collaboration about goals and practical steps to test between-session strategies. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients who prefer remote care.
How body-aware and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic-informed work focuses on bodily awareness and simple practices to notice how tension and stress appear in posture, breath, or sensations. It can help people better understand physical signals tied to anxiety, sleep problems, or trauma reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify values, and take small actions that match what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, depression, avoidance, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections, which can be helpful for communication problems, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the mix of talk work and body-focused exercises to fit the client’s needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving, and allow people to continue work from different locations. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel and make it simpler to practice between-session tools in real life while staying connected to a licensed professional.
