She offers sessions in English and supports communication about practical next steps. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood swings by breaking problems into smaller, workable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and small changes that add up, helping people identify what works and build on it for problems like relationship strain, motivation, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions begin with clear aims and adjust over time based on what proves most helpful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or limit bandwidth needs, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging lets people share updates or work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adapt treatment to a busy schedule.
