How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs support talking through difficult emotions and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and quick strategies to move toward specific goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist adjust methods together as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, keeping sessions shorter when needed, and using tools like worksheets or brief skill practice between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to schedule meetings around work or caregiving commitments.
