How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people clarify what matters and decide next steps. This approach supports relationship and family concerns by focusing on the person's feelings and perspectives.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions identify unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing reactions in blended household situations.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and practical strategies. It helps people name a preferred outcome and map simple steps to get there, which can be helpful for communication problems and co-parenting logistics.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and check progress over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats.
