How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people feel understood. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks what matters most, and helps clients set their own goals. It fits well when someone needs steady support for relationship or parenting worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse. Sessions include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and tracking results over time. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require video if a lighter setup is preferable. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps to find what works best.
