How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and strengths. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps shape sessions around what matters most to them, which can be useful for stress, relationship issues, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, address addictive behaviors, and change unhelpful patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safety, stabilization, and processing of painful experiences at a pace the client can manage. It offers tools to cope with trauma-related symptoms and to restore a sense of control and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process often includes trying strategies, getting feedback, and tailoring plans as progress is made.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life and make it easier to attend regularly. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving duties. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options are offered.
