In her private practice, she focuses on assessment and therapy for adults with anxiety, posttraumatic stress, habit disorders, stress, and depression. She enjoys helping her clients take a practical and active approach to challenging their problems while pursuing their larger goals. She uses a cognitive-behavioural approach, supplemented with mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques. Recognizing that many people cannot afford a full course of therapy, Dr Thordarson often sees clients for one or two sessions so that she can formulate a plan and direct them to evidence-based self-help resources, with occasional follow-up sessions as needed.
