How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and then decide on goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring more calm to daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will help you decide which methods match your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or priorities change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stay consistent when life gets hectic by offering more flexible timing and fewer barriers to attending.
