Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals and small steps toward them. Sessions often include skill-building around thoughts, everyday habits, communication, and emotional awareness.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps people feel heard and seen, which can make it easier to talk about identity, shame, or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches clear tools to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday habit shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and shifting emotional patterns in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with problem-focused CBT exercises, then using client-centered listening or emotionally-focused work as things evolve.
The practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer barriers to keeping appointments. Online therapy can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions outside normal commute hours, or keep momentum during life transitions. Confirm the specific online or in-person session options before booking so expectations match what is offered.
