How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions using this approach center the person's goals and pace, and the therapist follows what the client brings to the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT can include practical exercises, worksheets, and scheduled behavioral experiments to try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many clients find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around study, work, or travel. Remote meetings can be useful for shorter check-ins, follow-up planning, or when someone prefers not to travel to an appointment. Ask about the available session types and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
