How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach some people use when past events continue to cause distress, and it involves structured processing of troubling memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest options. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people continue care around job, family, or caregiving responsibilities while using the therapeutic methods described above.
