How her approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Sessions emphasize the person’s priorities and move at a comfortable pace to help them reach their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. It offers simple exercises and practical tools to test thinking patterns and change unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to make changes. It supports commitment and small steps toward goals without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit daily routines and goals.
