How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers empathy, and helps build confidence and clearer goals. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, respectful space to work through life changes or emotional pain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions teach simple skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and mood regulation.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and to physical sensations. Short mindfulness practices and grounding exercises are often used to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. This approach pairs well with skill-building work in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to keep using or change.

Online therapy makes those methods easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, written exercises, and ongoing support between calls. These options increase flexibility and help maintain steady progress when schedules are tight.
