How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and on building understanding through open questions and reflective listening.CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It helps clarify reasons for change and strengthens commitment to small, achievable steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and letting people join from a convenient location. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and may be a better fit when noticing nonverbal cues matters less than having a timely conversation.
