How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting each person's own goals; it helps when someone needs a trusted space to sort out priorities and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior, and it helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and sleep problems by teaching concrete strategies to test and change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can reduce reactivity for people managing stress, anger, or chronic pain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust strategies over time. You and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful for your everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation, helping translate what is tried in session into everyday habit change.
