How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters, and helps set goals based on the person’s own priorities. This suits people who want a respectful, step-by-step partnership.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions and tools for managing anxiety, anger, and mood shifts.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase focus on the present moment. It can help with stress, rumination, and impulse-driven responses.
Finding the right blend of approaches usually happens together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences and daily life guide decisions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about which ways of working will fit your schedule and comfort level.
