How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and respect, then helps people reflect on choices and next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce stress, anger, or anxiety. CBT techniques often include simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions to track progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with a listening-focused conversation and adding CBT tools or motivational interviewing as goals become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from more convenient locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that work around work, caregiving, or treatment appointments.
