How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, and figuring out life purpose.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together they identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep problems and practice new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often includes simple at-home exercises to try between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help with emotional ups and downs, impulsive behaviors, and building steadier routines.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That plan can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller interaction and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick fallbacks during a busy day and can make steady support easier to maintain.
