How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals; it helps when someone needs a steady space to talk things through and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift core emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns, useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. This collaborative process helps decide which tools and exercises to use from the approaches above.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because sessions can fit around daily life, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some approaches also translate well to shorter check-ins or to using worksheets and exercises between sessions, which supports steady progress without needing long gaps between meetings.
