How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the session toward whatever is most pressing for them, such as parenting struggles, family conflict, or emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical alternatives. CBT tends to work well for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related thinking patterns, and everyday coping strategies because it breaks problems into small, doable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. These skills can help with stress, anger, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness by improving attention to routine choices and bodily cues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, mixing listening-based support, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices as needed. The plan can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that working this way helps them practice new habits between meetings and apply coping strategies in real time.
