How her approaches translate to online work
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try new ways of responding; this can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping after trauma. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify personal reasons to change and build commitment; it supports work on addictions, lifestyle changes, and goal setting. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable goals, which can be useful for stress, relationship concerns, and managing life transitions.Deciding which method fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped before. They then try an approach and adjust based on what works for the person's situation and pace.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. Different formats often affect things like whether a session uses video, audio, or a shorter phone check-in, so check the options offered when you schedule.
