Dr. Starks aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and be heard without judgment.

She uses clear, straightforward methods to address problems.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is easy to track.

With six years of professional experience, Dr. Starks draws on a mix of approaches that fit each person's needs. She works with issues across moods, trauma, behavioral struggles, and caregiver stress.

Her training as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - supports a practical, person-centered style. She emphasizes building coping strategies that people can use between sessions. The aim is to leave each meeting with one or two doable steps toward feeling better.

Dr. Starks practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. People connect with her for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a trusting relationship. It helps when people need a steady place to talk through feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Starks will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the client.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and learning skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and people who want shorter, more frequent contact. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make ongoing support more reachable.
