How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. DeProw commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some patterns that keep problems repeating. She also draws on client-centered methods which focus on listening closely and following the client’s priorities; this helps shape goals and pacing. Attachment-based ideas look at how past and current relationships affect feelings and choices, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting plans based on what helps most in daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let them join without traveling. Online work can also make practicing skills between meetings more straightforward by building tasks into the client’s usual routines.
