Her practice emphasizes flexibility and collaboration when planning sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking so they know how meetings are scheduled and delivered.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering support and reflective listening to help people clarify goals and feel understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and build new coping routines for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It helps people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different therapies based on what helps most.

Confirm available session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about session logistics and any preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling reflects your routines and goals.
