How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's concerns and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps shape sessions around those priorities. This approach suits people who want a supportive, collaborative space to talk through problems.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes. This method can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related habits.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes setting short-term, achievable goals and noticing small wins. It can be useful when people want quick, practical strategies to handle a specific problem or transition.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the types of change a person wants. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a short break, continue therapy during life transitions, or practice new habits in daily settings.
