How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist helps the client set the pace, choose topics, and guide each conversation toward their priorities. This approach fits concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and family stress.Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, concrete goals and practical next steps. Online meetings can be used to set these short-term goals, check progress, and adjust plans between sessions. This method works well for managing stress, improving communication, and addressing specific problems like parenting or relationship tasks.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods suit a client's needs. Together they may blend listening-focused work with solution-oriented tasks to create a plan that feels right.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates or reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, keep momentum between meetings, and use different formats for different purposes, such as longer conversations on video and short problem-solving messages between sessions.
