How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship and lets clients set the pace of topics and goals. This approach helps when people need steadier support during relationship or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It is useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, ADHD-related strategies, and changing daily routines through homework and skills practice.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns to improve how people relate in close relationships. It can help with intimacy problems, communication issues, and repairing trust after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
