She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, impulsivity, isolation, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue. Her style aims to be supportive while encouraging concrete change.
Sessions focus on identifying practical steps clients can take between meetings. She helps people practice new ways of responding to old patterns. The work often includes skill building for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving.
Folayan emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's story. She encourages those who are ready for change to take a first step and offers steady support throughout the process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals. In online sessions this looks like the therapist checking in on what matters most to the client and shaping each meeting around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions to create practical steps for change. Online work can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, setting small behavioral experiments, and reviewing progress between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. The therapist can teach and practice those skills during sessions and help clients apply them to daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. If something doesn't fit, adjustments are made together so the work matches real needs.
Because the biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Many people find it simpler to attend consistently when sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other routines.
