How her approaches apply to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s agenda. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer thinking, and time to name what matters. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and separates the person from the problem. It can be useful for identity, relationship, and family of origin concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps that move toward clear goals. It is often used for stress, coping, and specific behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as goals shift.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since current options were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits. It can also allow phone-based check-ins when bandwidth is limited or video is impractical. Ask about scheduling options and whether daytime or text-only arrangements are offered to match real-life constraints.
