How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, so sessions start with listening and building a plan that fits each person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical ways to test and change them for clearer thinking and reduced anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for managing intense feelings and preventing impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods feel most helpful based on the client's goals, preferences, and what comes up in conversation. That collaborative process can include trying different skills and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible. It also lets people try skill practice and homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to an online setting so clients can work on stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes in ways that match their daily routines.
