How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In online sessions this looks like open conversation about priorities, values, and immediate concerns so the therapist can respond to what feels most pressing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online meetings can include thought records, behavior experiments, and step-by-step plans that clients take into daily life between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to manage stress and anxiety. These techniques can be practiced during short check-ins and assigned as brief exercises to use outside of sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether meetings are over video, phone, or in person. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use skills from their everyday environments without reshaping their day completely.
