How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can name their concerns and set goals. This approach helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and supports personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and attention-related struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of everyday habits. It can be useful for managing stress, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign brief exercises between sessions and review progress together, which helps translate therapy into everyday habit changes.
