How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and space so people can explore feelings and decide what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to sort through stress, relationship concerns, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to build new habits for anxiety, depression, or managing cravings. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools and a plan to track progress.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and on small, achievable goals. It helps people identify strengths and make quick, practical changes when facing life transitions, conflict, or recovery challenges.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means plans can change as progress is made and new needs arise.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility to keep momentum and stay connected with a licensed professional.
