How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. It involves reflective conversation and collaborative goal-setting, useful when someone needs clarity or emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises, experimenting with small changes, and tracking results to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These practices can help with stress, anxiety, and ongoing emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is observed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets to remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
