How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their own priorities in therapy. It’s useful for building trust and talking through relationship or self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeros in on small, achievable goals and immediate steps clients can take to move forward, which can be helpful when people want short-term progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and the plan is adjusted through conversation and feedback.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, reduce the need for video when bandwidth is low, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments.
