How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say and helps you find the next steps that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives concrete exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and sleep issues.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be practiced between sessions and then reviewed with the therapist to make them more useful in daily life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist can help fit work into a busy life by arranging appointments around schedules and by focusing on practical tools that carry over into daily routines. Online work can make it easier to check in between appointments, try behavioral experiments where you live, and access consistent support while juggling family, work, or health demands.
