How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing behavior patterns that get in the way of daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's priorities and builds from their strengths and values. This approach supports people who need a respectful, nonjudging space to talk through relationship and identity concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest ways to combine methods that fit those aims. Goals are revisited regularly so the plan can change if something isn’t working for the person.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist can also adapt pacing and tools to match what works best for daily life and responsibilities.
