How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client's concerns and priorities and the therapist helps people clarify their own goals.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that can be tried right away. It is useful for managing parenting problems, stepfamily routines, anxiety, and day-to-day stress by setting short-term goals and tracking what works.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past events affect current behavior and relationships. When trauma is part of someone's story, this approach helps break down overwhelming memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
