How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening carefully and following the client’s pace. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what feels most important in the moment and adjust support over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new responses. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns and translates easily to video, phone, or text-based work where homework and check-ins are used.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small steps that move a person forward quickly. It is useful when someone wants short-term plans they can try between meetings and then review remotely.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest one or a combination of methods. Together they’ll adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs and schedules. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging fits people who prefer shorter, ongoing contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
