How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s concerns so people can make sense of feelings and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship stress, parenting strain, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and depression. Sessions can include learning coping strategies, testing new behaviors, and practicing short exercises between meetings.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaboration continues as progress is reviewed and priorities shift.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and communication preferences during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
