How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s pace, listens closely, and focuses on what matters most to that person. This approach helps people clarify values and make decisions that fit their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors. It often involves short, practical exercises and skill-building that can be used between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Trauma-focused therapy aims to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and reactions so daily life becomes easier to manage. Work moves at a careful pace and focuses on grounding skills and processing distressing events when the person is ready.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort.

For practical online benefits, remote therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it easier to keep appointments during work breaks or when childcare is limited. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect.
