How her approaches fit into online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and supporting them to reflect on feelings and choices. In practice this means the therapist listens, mirrors concerns, and helps the person set goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for impulsive behaviors, emotional regulation, and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review the person’s needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in sessions and between appointments.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when scheduling to match therapy to everyday life.
