She uses motivational interviewing to help people find clarity and follow through on meaningful changes. The aim is steady progress on real goals rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports people who want to act toward what matters to them even when emotions are hard. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs steady, nonjudgmental support. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries, which can help with anger, intense emotions, and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try different tools and decide what works best over time rather than committing to one path up front.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or enabling work around caregiving schedules. It also lets therapists make mindfulness exercises and DBT skills practice part of everyday routines, so new strategies are tested between meetings rather than saved only for the therapy room.
