How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and letting the person's concerns lead the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through emotions and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and tests simple changes to see if they help. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for creating new habits that improve day-to-day functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to goals and small, concrete steps toward them. It is helpful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented work that yields visible progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That lets sessions stay practical and relevant to real life.
