How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows your lead and reflects your concerns back to you. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify values and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and testing small changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks big problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. They can also support practicing skills in daily life and keeping continuity of care during life changes.
