How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person’s priorities and building goals that matter to them. The therapist follows the client’s lead and uses questioning and reflection to clarify goals and choices, which is useful for family conflict and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and stressful moments that come up in blended household life.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. That can be helpful during heated conversations or when stress feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress and priorities change.
