She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thought patterns that keep problems going and try out new ways of thinking and acting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding each person as an individual. The therapist focuses on strengths and values, helping the client identify what matters and build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small, testable changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing helps people move through ambivalence by clarifying goals and strengthening internal reasons to change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as needed. Many people try a mix of approaches so short-term goals and longer personal concerns can both be addressed.

Session details are not specified in this profile, so confirm available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make some tools and worksheets easier to share and review between meetings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how to structure sessions to match day-to-day life.
