How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and helping people set their own pace. In practice this means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and uses reflective conversation to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include brief exercises to practice new ways of thinking or to plan experiments between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on thought work, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing for change, or short solution-focused plans.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a lunch break, remove travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and video lets the client and therapist use visual cues and exercises. Discuss format needs when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
