Background and approach

Her background includes time at a state hospital where she worked with people needing more intensive support, and later work focused on community-based care. Beatrice prefers a straightforward, goal-oriented approach. She uses solution-focused methods to help people set and reach practical goals.

She also draws on client-centered principles to make sessions collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her practice to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, is used when skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are needed.

Sessions include talking through immediate concerns and building tools for everyday life. Beatrice aims to respond to messages within 24 business hours and encourages people to keep trying when progress feels slow. Her style is warm and task-focused, with an emphasis on workable steps toward feeling better.

Using practical therapy approaches online

Beatrice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety and depression. CBT sessions online often include homework and step-by-step practice to build new habits and reduce stressful reactions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or when someone needs concrete strategies to manage distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time so sessions match the client's needs.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives because it offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear one another for full conversation, phone can be a quicker check-in or help when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short updates or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy tools where they matter most.
