How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in session. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue regular skill practice between sessions. Ask about available session styles and any scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
