How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to you. The therapist follows your lead, helping you name goals and decide what to work on. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative, respectful space to talk about depression, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build manageable habits for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Clients often use short exercises between sessions to practice new ways of responding.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, realistic changes that add up. Sessions identify strengths and next steps that can be tried right away, which is useful when coping with life transitions or feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that seem likely to help. This happens in collaboration so adjustments can be made over time.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help clients stay consistent with treatment without promising a specific format.
