How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs acceptance and space to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to choose techniques that fit the person’s needs and day-to-day life.
