How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client's goals and what feels most important to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches simple exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches gentle attention to the present moment and can help reduce stress and reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. You and the therapist review what's working and adjust the plan together so the approach fits your life and pace.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuing care when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational techniques, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
