How her approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. In practice that means the therapist follows the client's lead in sessions and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when people need a space to organize thoughts and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include identifying distorted thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing crises. It emphasizes distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques that people can use between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, and she will adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. This helps keep sessions practical and goal-focused.
