How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and the therapist listens without imposing a plan. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out what matters most right now and build a pace they can manage.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress by breaking issues into small, actionable tasks.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts commitment when they feel stuck. It supports decisions about parenting changes, health steps, or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can be revisited as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or childcare by removing travel. Phone calls can be shorter check-ins and require less bandwidth, while video lets you use visual cues and worksheets in-session. Working online can help therapy fit into everyday life without changing what the therapy itself aims to do.
