How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead. In an online session this means the therapist will prioritize what matters most to the client and use that as the starting point for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include worksheets, behavior experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process shaped by the client's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and use tools like written exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered methods to work well in virtual settings while focusing on practical steps and everyday progress.
