How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. In practice this means conversations that center the client's concerns, regular check-ins on goals, and letting the client guide what to work on next. This approach helps with life changes, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and problem-focused issues like money worries or parenting stress. EMDR is used for trauma-related symptoms and involves structured processing to reduce past distress and its current impact.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Plans may combine short-term solution-focused steps with CBT skills or trauma-focused work depending on need.
