How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. It involves active listening, reflecting what the client says, and building goals together to match what matters most. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns where a person wants to be heard and guided toward their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop new patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills. It offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, which can help with anger, relationship struggles, and mood instability.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to involve tools like worksheets, thought records, and mindfulness exercises between sessions to support steady progress.
