How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for improving self-esteem, navigating life changes, and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication during intense moments.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest methods that fit those priorities. Together they adjust the focus as progress happens and as new concerns come up.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, keep continuity during transitions, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets therapists use worksheets, mindfulness exercises, skills coaching, and creative tools like art prompts to support the work between sessions.
