How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their priorities so they can set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for mood, stress, and coping with life changes.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, skill-building, and short practical tasks so the work is useful between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from another location. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or longer discussions depending on what they need that week.
