How her approaches shape online therapeutic work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects feelings, and helps clarify values and choices. This approach is useful for people coping with grief, stress, or relationship questions.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. It helps separate the person from the problem and open up new possibilities for action. This can be helpful for shifting identity-related concerns and problems that feel stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and short-term steps. It highlights what is already working and builds on small successes to create momentum. People who want quicker problem-solving or coaching-style support often respond well to this approach.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods that fits. Collaboration helps tailor sessions so the plan evolves with the client's experience.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make scheduling daytime appointments more practical for people working or parenting while managing stress.
