How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel right to them. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, respectful conversation about their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want clear tools to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and handling crises. It includes techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. This can be useful for people who need steady tools to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods over time in collaboration with the client.
