How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's needs and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a caring space to sort through confusing feelings or life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skill work. It helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, and then try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills for strong emotions and relationship challenges. It offers concrete tools for managing intensity and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which method or blend of methods fits the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can shift focus if life brings new priorities or sudden stressors so work remains relevant and manageable.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can guide how to use tools and homework between sessions so progress continues outside scheduled meetings.
