How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to concentrate on the individual's priorities and on building practical coping steps for day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood. In remote sessions CBT is often paired with exercises to practice between meetings and short check-ins on progress.
Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring motivation and ambivalence. Online conversations can help set small, achievable goals and track progress over weeks.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as the work unfolds.
The practical advantage of remote sessions is fitting counseling into a busy life. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online options can make shorter check-ins easier, reduce travel time, and allow work or parenting breaks to be used for appointments.
