How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and lets goals arise from their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small steps that move a person forward.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. They will adjust methods as progress is reviewed and as priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week or reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone sessions when video is not practical. Ask about formats and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match daily life and responsibilities.
