How her approaches translate to online therapy

Candidate-centered care means the therapist focuses on the person's perspective and goals. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and shaping sessions around their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It often includes tracking mood, testing assumptions, and practicing new coping skills for anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties. These tasks adapt well to video or messaging formats so people can use them between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels useful and realistic for the person.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and quick coping reminders between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules.
