She also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused ways of working to keep the process collaborative and goal-oriented. She has supported people dealing with addictions, anger, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life transitions.

She frames progress as small, steady steps rather than sudden fixes.
How evidence-informed approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks open questions, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. It can be useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for quick updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and stay consistent with treatment.
