How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions; online this looks like sessions where the therapist reflects what matters most and follows the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses targeted exercises to shift patterns; online CBT often includes written exercises and homework people can do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, with short skills coaching and practice applied to daily life.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT strategies, client-centered listening, or a mix depending on needs and preferences.

The biography notes a preference for messaging and live messaging as helpful ways to give people time to think and respond, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written exercises and messaging to reflect between sessions. These practical benefits can help therapy feel more manageable while working toward real goals.
