How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the agenda. It is useful when someone needs to talk through choices, values, or what feels most important after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, actionable steps and short-term goals to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a technique, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan based on results and feedback.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose whether to use video or not. These practical benefits help many people maintain regular appointments while addressing issues like life transitions, career questions, or mood concerns.
