How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize open conversation and collaborative goal setting, which can work well for relationship, career, or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In a remote format CBT often includes concrete exercises and between-session practice to track changes in mood, sleep, or habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Remote DBT sessions can focus on short skills coaching and practicing specific techniques for managing intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs become clearer.
