How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening and on following the concerns you bring. In online sessions this means starting by hearing what matters most and shaping the conversation around your priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific tools to change them. Online work can include reviewing patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small experiments to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust them over time in collaboration with you.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to try short check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it simpler to balance care with work, caregiving, or medical appointments without promising particular formats.
