How her methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes your concerns and adjusts the pace to match your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress and translates well into structured online practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit your goals and preferences. She may combine listening-based work with CBT skill practice or DBT techniques depending on what you need and what feels most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, such as taking a brief check-in during a lunch break or using fewer commutes for weekly appointments. It can also allow for quicker follow-ups and structured homework between meetings. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and goals.
