About Twarner
Twarner Witherspoon is an LMSW and LCSW licensed in Alabama with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her practice also includes support around aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, body image, and issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
She uses clear, practical conversation to sort through what is happening now. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she relies on to help people manage anxiety, depression, and social fears.
In the room she encourages direct talk about feelings and decisions. She works with clients to name goals and try small, manageable steps between sessions. Communication problems, control issues, and difficulties with motivation are addressed through these concrete tasks.
Twarner also supports people facing serious life transitions, including hospice and end-of-life matters, isolation or loneliness, and challenges faced by young adults. She helps people weigh priorities and clarify what matters next after a work, relationship, or health change.
Her style is straightforward and practical. New clients complete a short questionnaire and set up a first session to begin clarifying next steps. Sessions are provided in English and are arranged through the practice intake process.
How CBT and structured work translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing different behaviors. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.She pairs CBT with clear goal-setting and practical between-session tasks. That combination helps people try small behavior changes and track what works. Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.
