How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping the client lead the conversation. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and figure out priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating problems and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They will then recommend methods and adjust them as needed so the plan fits day-to-day life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow check-ins during a workday break. Some people also prefer shorter phone or video check-ins for quick progress updates; others choose longer meetings for deeper work. Discussing practical needs and timing will help determine the best way to meet.
