How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients shape next steps that feel doable. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks concerns into small, testable steps so clients can try changes between sessions and track what helps. CBT often supports concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful relationship habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. Together they decide whether to focus more on client-centered listening, CBT skills, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused planning and adjust as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since options are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find it simpler to keep consistent appointments and practice new skills between sessions when therapy fits their daily routine.
