How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to each person. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and supports the client's sense of agency in making changes. It can be helpful for people working through self-esteem, identity, relationship, and life-change questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT sessions can include practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients try between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping behaviors.

Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-oriented. It emphasizes small, concrete steps and what is already working. That approach fits well with brief check-ins by message or focused video sessions when someone needs to build momentum or tackle a specific problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may shift over time as goals change or new issues arise.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to process thoughts without scheduling a full meeting. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a varied life.
