How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort priorities and name goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is helpful for stress, depression, and changing unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills and can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps the client make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for longer sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows short check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while still using the approaches described above.
