How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with one approach and adding others over time as things change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can still use CBT or DBT skills work and client-centered listening during remote sessions, and they will help tailor session length and focus to what fits your schedule and goals.
