How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and responding with empathy and respect. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through depression, anxiety, or challenges tied to health changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how strong feelings shape relationships and personal choices. It helps people recognize painful patterns, express needs more clearly, and repair connection with others when emotion becomes overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, circumstances, and how they prefer to engage. That choice can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. They can also make shorter follow-up conversations and regular scheduling simpler to maintain, helping therapeutic work continue alongside everyday responsibilities.
