Her approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, which means she takes a nondirective stance and follows the client's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns and DBT skills for intense emotions and self-regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they match someone's needs.

How different approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions let the therapist hear how a person describes their life and respond in a nondirective way, helping the client build their own path forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression; online CBT often uses short exercises and homework that people can do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and those skills translate well to virtual sessions through guided practice and check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is a process that happens together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative planning can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, journaling prompts, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity across times of change.
