How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so goals come from the client. This approach helps people who need space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors for issues like anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Mindfulness Therapy trains simple practices to notice emotions and bodily sensations without getting swept away. These techniques can reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping with strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when a fuller check-in is useful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only meeting is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity of care between visits.
