How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps when someone needs empathy, being heard, and a space to sort through feelings before deciding on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and thinking patterns that affect parenting or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, checking in and adjusting plans based on goals and what feels helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to continue care across life changes while keeping therapy practical and focused on daily improvements.
