With 15 years of experience, she draws on several approaches to match different problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the client’s goals and experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions affect relationships and connection.

She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when helpful, inviting reflection on past patterns and the present moment. Sessions include skills practice, emotional processing, and planning concrete steps between meetings. Many people come for help with grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, addiction, career stress, and family concerns.

She is licensed in Texas as an LPC. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are supported. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and goals. Online sessions with this approach mean conversations shaped by what the client brings, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions, clients learn to spot thinking patterns, try new behaviors between meetings, and review results with the therapist to refine strategies for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns that affect relationships and connection. Working online, this approach supports identifying core emotions and practicing new ways of responding in relationships through discussion and guided exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can change as the work proceeds to better match what helps.

The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week and fewer barriers to traveling to an appointment. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule follow-ups, try short check-ins when needed, and keep momentum between in-person visits if those occur.
