How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to you and responding with empathy and respect. In practice this means sessions concentrate on your goals and personal strengths, and the therapist follows your lead to shape the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses short, practical exercises and step-by-step strategies to help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and cope with grief or health-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with you to test what helps most and adjust methods based on your needs and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to focus on immediate problems and longer-term coping skills.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy days, makes follow-up easier after medical appointments, and allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can support building everyday routines and practicing coping steps between meetings.
