Background and approach
Her style combines warmth with clear guidance to help people make small changes that add up over time. Dr. Outlaw trained as a medical doctor and holds clinical social work credentials: Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW), LISW-CP, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C).
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with complex mental health conditions. That background informs how she assesses risk and plans care. Therapy often draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered listening.
When trauma is in the picture, she may incorporate EMDR-informed methods and mindfulness to help process difficult memories and reduce distress. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Dr. Outlaw aims to match practical methods to each person’s goals and daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and parenting challenges because it focuses on what matters most and builds daily habits that support those goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then teaches tools to change patterns. It works well for sleep issues, anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by teaching practical skills and short exercises to practice between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used when traumatic memories are causing distress. In an online setting the therapist uses guided procedures and careful pacing to help reduce the intensity of painful memories.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face work when visual cues help. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing notes between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into daily life.
