How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep. This approach is useful for stress, grief, relationship strain, and parenting questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into small parts and tests simple behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, and practical coping skills.

Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and gentle feedback to boost readiness for change. It can help when someone feels stuck about goals like improving self-care, parenting routines, or managing caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about options and try methods that fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are a collaboration and can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text can provide brief check-ins, written reflections, and easier pacing between longer sessions. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
