How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants practical tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and fit.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep appointments during workday breaks. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
