How her approaches translate to online therapy

Two of the core approaches she uses are cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their goals, resolve mixed feelings, and build motivation for change through a respectful, goal-oriented conversation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. The process is collaborative and can change as your goals evolve.

The original profile did not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, and offering the option of shorter or more frequent meetings when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these methods to focus on skills like emotion regulation, communication practice, and planning next steps, all adapted to your schedule and daily routines.
