How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. Online sessions can include setting homework, practicing new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing progress together. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. In remote sessions this looks like teaching specific skills, doing short coaching drills, and rehearsing communication techniques.Deciding which approach to use is part of the first few sessions. She works with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps determine whether more skills-based work, mindfulness practice, or solution-focused steps are most useful.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote work helpful for fitting appointments into a busy day, having shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and scheduling when you complete the initial matching questionnaire and set up a first session.
