How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps when people need a straightforward place to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and impulse control concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when impulsivity or intense reactions are a concern.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then test approaches together. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change as needs shift.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to follow up after a difficult shift. It also allows for brief check-ins when a shorter contact is more practical than a full session.
