How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people gain clarity about values, strengths, and the changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps you try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional experience in relationships and helps people name feelings and shift how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and life demands. Expect ongoing adjustment so sessions stay practical and relevant to the changes you want to make.
The therapist's biography notes she uses phone and video sessions and provides text support in addition to live meetings; confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, try a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or use a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to help with goal setting, coping skills, relationship work, and behavioral changes through remote sessions.
