How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It is useful for clarifying goals and building a working relationship that guides next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help with strong emotions and impulsive behavior.Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist reviews needs, goals, and preferences and recommends starting strategies. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work so the approach fits the person's situation.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins around work breaks or scheduling without travel time. It can also allow practicing skills and mindfulness in everyday settings. Ask about the available session options when completing the matching questionnaire so expectations match what is offered.
