How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, creating sessions around what matters most right now. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the direction for practical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsivity, offering tools people can practice between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful for daily life.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so appointments can be easier to keep. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills in real time or review brief exercises between meetings.
