How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and be heard without judgement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may blend approaches so therapy stays relevant and goal-oriented over time.

Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use therapeutic tools between meetings, such as worksheets or brief skill practices that support progress in daily life.
