How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel heard while they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will use a mix of methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins or meetings without travel. It can also allow options like audio-only for low-bandwidth situations or video when visual connection helps, depending on the therapist’s available formats. Many people find online sessions help keep consistent momentum while working on stress, trauma, addiction recovery, and mood concerns.
