How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in session. It helps people feel heard and build their own solutions through supportive, nonjudgmental dialogue.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses clear, practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful when people need tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift as progress is made.

Others prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm current session options to see what fits your routine.
