How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. The therapist reflects concerns, helps people set their own goals, and builds a trusting working relationship that supports change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and build better habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and the present moment to reduce reactivity and build calm. Simple breathing and awareness practices are often integrated into sessions to manage stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then suggest approaches to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments into their day more easily, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm the options available and schedule times that match personal routines.
