How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their feelings and goals by centering the conversation on their experience and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and motivation.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and close connections. It helps people notice and shift the ways they react when emotions run high, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. If an approach needs adjusting, the plan can be changed based on how things are going.
Practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making check-ins easier around work or study. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing, or sessions that do not require travel, which can make regular therapy easier to maintain.
