How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening without judgment to help people reconnect with what matters. This approach can help with anger, low motivation, and rebuilding self-esteem by centering the client’s own values and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and mood disorders.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is especially helpful when motivation feels low, or when making changes around addictions, health challenges, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then select or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to keep a steady routine of meetings while working on practical skills between sessions.
