How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and aligning the work with the individual's goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and adjusts pacing and topics to fit the person's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, which can help with anxiety, stress, anger, and relationship patterns that trace back to family of origin issues.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, consider your goals, and try methods that fit your preferences. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and practical.
