How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities. It involves reflective conversation, clarifying what matters most, and building a plan based on the client's goals. This approach helps with relationship strain, parenting decisions, and adjusting to new household roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It uses short practical exercises and homework to shift patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or conflict. CBT can be useful for stress management, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. That collaboration can mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what is used over time based on what helps most.
