How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s needs. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps them set their own goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice feelings and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, stress, and repetitive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works together with clients to decide which methods fit best for the issue, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered, mindfulness, and motivational methods to work well in remote conversations, focusing on clear goals and practical skills that carry into everyday life.
