How her approaches work in online therapy
Anne uses client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, helping with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Motivational interviewing supports people who are uncertain about change by clarifying goals and increasing motivation for behaviors like reducing substance use or changing relationship patterns.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress week to week. These brief, goal-oriented steps can help when someone wants tangible change for stress, codependency, or coping with life transitions. Together, these approaches help frame practical work during sessions while honoring each person’s experience.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify what feels most helpful given their needs, goals, and preferences. This often means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what produces the most movement toward the client's priorities.
Because the exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping a shorter check-in when needed, and attending from wherever is most convenient. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how to shape sessions so they fit day-to-day life.
