How her approaches can work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and understanding the person’s point of view. It helps when someone needs steady support, validation, and a space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It includes practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means checking what’s helping and adjusting methods as needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, length, and any adjustments to fit work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
