How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and asks questions that clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it uses concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to help people notice emotions like guilt and shame without being driven by them.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, how they respond to early interventions, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about which tools to use are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days or let someone choose not to be on camera when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals often use these flexibilities to keep therapy practical and usable within everyday life.
