How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to each person and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people clarify priorities and steer the conversation toward what feels most useful to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. In short, it teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be helpful when strong feelings lead to impulsive actions or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes continuing care possible when circumstances change, while still focusing on concrete skill-building and goal work.
