How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to use their own strengths to solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers practical steps to change them, which is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with impulse problems, mood swings, and distress tolerance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether the focus is more on skills practice, exploring emotions, or changing day-to-day habits.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer fewer visual demands, while others like the convenience of meeting from wherever they are. The therapist and client will agree on what works best for timing and structure as part of the first sessions.
