How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the person’s lead to find what matters most. This approach helps people who want honest support and clearer thinking about their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering practical tools to use between sessions. Motivational interviewing aims to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation in small steps.

Figuring out the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods and adjust plans based on what helps most. That way the approach fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing a single method.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between other commitments. Many people find online sessions help them keep momentum while working toward practical, everyday changes.
