How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers support, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach can help when you want to talk through decisions, parenting concerns, relationship stress, or financial worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and managing urges tied to addictions. Exercises are short and are practiced both in and between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try options, adjust what isn’t working, and focus on practical steps that fit daily life.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and can reduce the need to commute. It also allows for shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic sessions depending on what best supports progress.
