How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist listens and reflects to help people clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing uses focused questions and conversation to boost readiness for change and is often used when people are weighing difficult choices or working on addictions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what matters most to the client, try different methods, and agree on steps and goals. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs and progress change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a video check-in is not necessary. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing techniques, and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions so practical work continues between meetings.
