Sessions aim to identify small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. Kaufman emphasizes clear feedback and collaborative goal setting. She frames coping skills as tools to use in everyday life rather than abstract lessons.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to sessions. It helps when someone needs a therapist who pays attention to their priorities and reflects their concerns back in plain language. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals and what feels useful. That decision can change over time as needs and progress become clear.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel time. It also allows using skills practice and homework between meetings and keeps momentum between appointments. Ask about which formats are currently offered when you schedule.
