How her approaches work online

Client-centered therapy starts with listening closely to what matters most to you and shaping sessions around your goals. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to sort priorities, make decisions, and set realistic steps forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills and small experiments people can use to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma-related memories and strong emotional reactions. In sessions it involves guided processing to reduce distress tied to past events and to build more adaptive responses over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques together in a collaborative way.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to provide flexibility and consistent access to a licensed professional who can guide treatment planning and progress.
