How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people make choices that fit their life. This approach is helpful for concerns like relationship struggles, grief, and navigating changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle panic or intrusive thoughts. Sessions often include practice tasks to try between meetings.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps, such as with addictions or caregiving stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time as goals shift.
