How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist follows what the client brings to the session, asks clarifying questions, and helps the person identify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and builds practical skills to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, addictive patterns, and eating-related behaviors.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test short-term strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and oriented to daily life rather than fixed to a single method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let a person avoid video if that is preferred, or use a mix of focused skill practice and conversational coaching to support ongoing change.
