How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's experience back in a respectful way. Online sessions can still prioritize being heard, building trust, and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach can work well remotely through guided exercises, homework, and focused skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. They will check in and adapt the plan as progress is made so the approach fits the person's day-to-day life.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using practical tools between sessions, like worksheets and behavioral experiments, that help carry changes into everyday life.
