How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's story. The therapist creates a nonjudgmental space and follows the client's lead to uncover what matters most and where change can begin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and motivation challenges.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness exercises, motivational techniques, or solution-focused steps and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions to happen from more convenient locations. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online work is well suited to short goal-focused check-ins, skill-building sessions, and ongoing support for grief, stress, or life transitions because it lets people keep momentum between meetings.
