How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It centers the client's own goals and feelings, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through concerns like grief or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small changes that can improve mood and day-to-day habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to choose strategies that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with more listening and exploration, then adding CBT tools to address specific thinking patterns.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may allow for shorter check-ins during a work break or for sessions without needing travel time.
