How her approaches shape remote sessions
Client-centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead about what matters most. This approach helps when people need to talk through emotions and clarify personal goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. Sessions may include identifying negative thinking patterns, testing alternative interpretations, and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings. CBT often suits anxiety, depression, and coping skills work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, ask what has worked before, and suggest options based on needs and preferences. She works with clients to decide whether to emphasize client-centered exploration, CBT skill-building, or a mix of both.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some remote sessions favor audio-only or lower-bandwidth options for simpler calls, while others use video for more interactive skill practice. Ask about the available session types when arranging the first appointment.
