How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making space for the person's own goals. Online sessions using this approach emphasize being heard and building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change them; it often includes structured exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills for managing emotions and relationships with a focus on balancing acceptance and change, which can be useful for mood, impulsivity, and coping challenges.Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the process is collaborative throughout.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when helpful. It can also support practicing skills in real-life contexts and maintaining therapeutic momentum between in-person visits if those are part of a person's plan.
