How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship, helping people set goals and try small changes between sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity when those memories cause distress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session options are not detailed in the biography, so readers should confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during health challenges or life transitions.
