How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the client's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and building a supportive relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions the therapist helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and practices small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT works well for people who want practical tools they can try between meetings.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they adjust techniques over time so the work fits the client's life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
