How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens to understand what feels most important and adapts sessions to those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and together they choose methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include short-term solution-focused steps or longer skill-building using CBT techniques.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people join from locations that are quieter or more convenient. The therapist will clarify practical details when arranging the first appointment so sessions can be scheduled around everyday life.
