How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and following the client’s pace to build insight and confidence. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and skill-building to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change or progress is made.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into their day. It can reduce travel time, make scheduling around work simpler, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will take place and which formats are available.
