How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel heard and understood. In practice this looks like the therapist reflecting concerns, asking about priorities, and helping the person shape goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and thought records to change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices for managing stress and strong emotions. These practices are often paired with CBT exercises to strengthen day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let clients practice skills in their usual routines. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the online setting so work on thoughts and everyday habits continues between sessions.
