How her approaches shape online therapy options
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make sessions feel heard and respected. It is useful for people who want a therapist who listens first and follows the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small goals that move a person toward clearer functioning and relief.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, priorities, and what has helped before. Together they will decide whether to emphasize listening and support, cognitive strategies, or goal-focused work, and that plan can change over time.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins on workdays. It can also make it simpler to use homework tools between meetings and to keep continuity when life events interrupt routines.
