How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's lead and builds goals together. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps when addressing career stress or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and ADHD-related patterns because it provides step-by-step skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting plans as progress is made. That teamwork helps tailor sessions to issues like grief, parenting strain, or career transitions.
Confirm the session format before booking so expectations match what’s offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also supports tracking homework and sharing tools between meetings, which helps keep progress steady even when life gets busy.
