How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist creates space for people to describe what matters most and helps shape sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps tailor care to a person’s lifestyle and concerns.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows use of worksheets, brief mindfulness practices, and step-by-step behavior plans between meetings to keep momentum between sessions.
