She might help someone learn ways to manage worry, practice new communication patterns, or process painful memories at a pace that feels safe. Her style aims to be direct but supportive, giving people concrete options to try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping clients find their own solutions, which can work well in remote sessions where talking and reflection are central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques like thought records and behavioral experiments can be practiced between sessions and discussed online or by phone.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for handling intense feelings and difficult conversations and can be taught and practiced in virtual sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit. Goals and methods can be adjusted as work progresses to find what helps most.

Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and practice skills in real time between meetings. Ask about session length and the formats available to pick what fits your schedule and needs.
