How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes respect and collaboration and helps people who need a supportive place to sort out goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves practical exercises and skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress and improve focus. It can help with sleeping problems, coping with chronic pain, and managing strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to find a good fit. That collaboration helps pick which methods to use and how to adapt them over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, worksheets, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so people can try tools between meetings.
