How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building trust so a person feels heard and accepted. This approach helps people speak openly about pain, relationships, and identity without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions and teaches clear tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and some trauma symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of trauma and abuse by pacing work carefully and helping people manage strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Together they will check what is helpful and adjust the plan as things change.

The specific session formats for this therapist are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins after a difficult day. It can also let sessions be shorter or scheduled during a work break when that better fits daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches described above to make online sessions practical and focused on progress.
