How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to identify what matters most. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client’s concerns and goals and the therapist reflects and clarifies so progress is clear.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and compassion fatigue by offering short skills to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they try methods that match current needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
