How her approaches work online
She commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify goals and feel understood. CBT helps people identify thought and behavior patterns and try practical experiments to change them. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for managing strong reactions and conflicts.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. Together they choose techniques that fit the person's situation, such as communication exercises or practical coping strategies for intense feelings.
