How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for people wanting a supportive space to make sense of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going. Sessions introduce small experiments and new routines to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve sleep. Clients learn practical skills they can use between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, intense reactions, or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and what feels helpful. Plans are adjusted as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and applicable to everyday life.
