How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, so online sessions tend to begin with open conversation and careful reflection to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives clear, practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior and often includes short exercises or homework between sessions to practice new skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced in daily life and reviewed in session.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients can expect the therapist to explain each method and to invite feedback about what works and what doesn't.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people meet from quieter locations or while on a break. It also supports reviewing between-session tools like CBT worksheets or DBT skills practice to help progress between meetings.
