How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes empathy and building a working relationship so clients can set the goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-focused, and can be used for stress, anxiety, sleep and mood concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions affect relationships and personal patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and try new ways of connecting or coping.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time if something is not helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Some clients find online sessions helpful for keeping regular momentum and making the work of therapy easier to maintain alongside daily responsibilities.
