Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening first and shaping sessions around what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist asks about immediate concerns, follows the client's lead, and helps set realistic goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short, practical exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds useful. Goals, pacing, and methods are chosen together so therapy fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to schedule sessions and keep momentum while working through stress, relationships, and everyday challenges.
