How her approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active. Online sessions can include talking through patterns, trying short behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific goals and small steps that move a person toward those goals. In remote sessions the therapist and client set clear targets and review what worked between meetings to build momentum.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands, then try methods that fit. Adjustments happen along the way so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, faster turnarounds, and support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
