How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well for stress, low mood, and managing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that feel manageable and adjust the plan over time based on results.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when video is not ideal. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills between meetings and stay consistent with care.
