How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. In practice this means sessions start with the client's priorities and follow their pace, which helps when addressing anxiety, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and workplace stress because it teaches specific skills to try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. It is practical for people who want quick strategies to handle relationship problems, parenting challenges, or career decisions.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on what works best for the client's goals and preferences. Clients help shape the plan as they go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or busy days, and text sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a short break. These options aim to make consistent care easier to keep up with in daily life.
