How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and topics of sessions. This helps when someone needs to process emotions and feel heard before moving to solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep causing the same problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time so sessions meet current needs. This is a collaborative process that uses feedback and small experiments to track change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for maintaining momentum between in-person visits and for trying new coping skills in real life. Licensed professionals can explain which approach they think will best match your goals during the first sessions.
