How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their goals. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and helps set priorities that feel important to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it gives practical skills people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused work with skill-building or brief solution-focused steps, depending on what the person wants to change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules change. Online sessions can still use active skills practice, goal setting, and motivational conversations just as in-person work does, and the therapist will help shape sessions to fit practical needs and daily routines.
