How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore what matters to them. It helps with emotional pain, decision-making, and improving relationships by letting the client lead the pace and topics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers strategies for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for overwhelming stress, strong mood swings, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need for camera use when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so treatment fits everyday routines.
