How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and helps set the topics for each session. This approach is useful for people who want their goals and priorities to guide the work.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions this often looks like reviewing skill practice, teaching short coping techniques, and planning real-world exercises to try between meetings. DBT skills are commonly used for anxiety, anger management, and stress related to caregiving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and what feels most practical. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if different strategies are needed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery methods.
