How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. It means the therapist listens closely, mirrors concerns, and helps the person name what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want space to explore feelings and personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear tools to change daily patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication, which can be useful for anger or impulsivity concerns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress.

For practical online work, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. They can also let people use formats that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when needed. Ask about the available session formats when you set up your first appointment.
