Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping set clear priorities and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and uses small experiments and skill practice to change patterns that cause distress. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choices, and personal values to help people facing major life decisions or transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needs or preferences change. This is a collaborative process and the client helps decide what makes the most sense.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support continuing work between in-person visits and let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises at home. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
