About Misty
Misty Humphrey is a Kansas LCPC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and managing life changes. Misty also focuses on codependency, first responder issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and guilt and shame.
She uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy in her practice and combines it with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice coping skills, and try small changes that fit their day-to-day life. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps rather than jargon or long explanations.
Misty encourages straightforward conversation about what is worrying someone and how it shows up in daily routines. She works collaboratively to set goals and check progress. Sessions typically involve talking, practicing skills, and planning actions to test new ways of responding.
Her background includes work with trauma and first responder concerns, so she brings experience with strong emotional reactions and high-stress situations. She aims to help people reduce the hold that guilt and shame have on everyday decisions.
People who value practical tools and steady problem-solving may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they match their needs.
How her approaches are used online
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a brief trauma-focused method that works by helping the brain process distressing memories in a different way. It can be used to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and their emotional effects.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, and ongoing patterns like guilt-driven rumination.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills teach practical tools for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are often used alongside other methods to support day-to-day coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can change as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.
