How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's priorities. In an online session this means the therapist listens closely and uses questions that help the person name what matters most and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear steps to change thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include worksheet work, behavior planning, and practice exercises between visits. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and reduce resistance; it is conversational and fits well into brief check-ins or longer sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide whether to focus more on skills, on understanding patterns, or on strengthening motivation, and they adjust as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist share CBT worksheets and action plans directly during or after sessions to support practice between meetings.
