How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It prioritizes the person’s own goals and helps shape sessions around what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want to feel heard and build on their strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to change patterns that cause distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and then shift how they respond in relationships and tough moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about the client’s needs, goals, and daily life and then try methods that fit. Sessions can be adjusted over time so techniques match what is actually helpful for each person.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, worksheets, and thought-restructuring tools between meetings. Ask about the current options when you schedule so you know how sessions will be arranged.
