Parents can expect practical strategies for parenting stress and for managing sleep and eating difficulties.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's concerns and works to understand their perspective, which helps when deciding which goals to set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for overwhelming feelings and relationship stress.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.

They also let people use skills coached in session in their normal environments, and sessions can be scheduled to match work or caregiving commitments.
