How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience without judgment and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new ways of acting, and tracking small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past harm in ways that reduce its hold on daily life. It is useful when past events continue to cause strong reactions or interfere with relationships and functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. This happens through discussion, trying strategies, and adjusting based on what helps most.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can also use online work to coordinate support with other services or adapt homework and tools to everyday life.
