How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions center on the client’s priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what is most important. This approach helps when someone needs straightforward support and a nonjudgmental space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, stress, shame, and relationship patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Short exercises and breathing techniques are used to manage strong emotions and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and permit flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow for brief check-ins when a quick conversation will help decide next steps.
