Background and approach
That variety gave her a wide view of how life changes and relationships affect mental health. She draws on 22 years of experience as a Kentucky psychologist to help people sort through symptoms and day-to-day challenges. Her practice blends several approaches to match each person’s needs.
Existential therapy can help people explore meaning and choices when life feels uncertain. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and communication patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors.
In sessions she uses active listening and a nonjudgmental stance. The work often includes setting small goals, trying new behaviors between meetings, and talking through difficult feelings like guilt or shame. She aims to offer clear guidance and encouragement alongside practical strategies.
Areas of focus include ADHD, addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, relationship and communication problems, bipolar disorder, and social anxiety. Dr. DeArth-Pendley also attends to career questions, life purpose, multicultural concerns, and young adult issues.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. Online sessions can create space to talk through uncertainty and decide what matters most in daily life.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how patterns from close relationships shape present interactions and feelings. Working remotely, a therapist can guide conversations that improve communication and help people notice repeating patterns with partners or family members.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques like behavioral experiments and thought records adapt well to video or messaging formats and give clear steps to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the approach matches changing needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people work face to face while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks.
