How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist uses it to help people name priorities and feel heard, which is useful for concerns like anxiety, life purpose, or relationship skills.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is often used for stress, mood changes, and habits tied to addiction or work performance.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It pairs well with coaching around career moves, financial decisions, or beginning recovery steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as goals evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent momentum on goals such as budgeting, career planning, or managing stress without requiring clients to rearrange a full day.
