How her approaches work online and why they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard so they can decide what matters most to them. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches simple skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and build better habits for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and anger. That makes it useful for concrete problems and short-term goals.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and commitment, which can be helpful for addiction, behavior change, and boosting follow-through on goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then try methods that match your needs. If something isn’t helpful, she will adjust the plan together with you so sessions stay practical and focused.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives. Video calls let you work face to face, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick support between sessions. These options help people balance therapy with work, parenting, and caregiving demands.
