How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening and respect. Sessions focus on the person's priorities and build from their strengths to set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches step-by-step techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques like CBT worksheets or DBT skills practice to real-life needs and preferences.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing sessions during breaks. Licensed professionals can still use the same core strategies online, such as practicing new skills between sessions, reviewing thought records together, and tracking progress toward goals.
