How her approaches translate to online work

This approach helps when people want a respectful space to talk through parenting stress, relationship questions, or life changes.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which emphasizes practical strategies for changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and for building clear skills to manage daily stress.
