How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities and values. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Then she will suggest one or a combination of methods and adjust them as the sessions progress so the plan fits the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, practice emotion regulation, and plan homework that fits everyday life.
