How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on what matters most to the person in front of the clinician. In practice this means sessions start with the client's priorities and the therapist reflects and clarifies so goals feel personally meaningful. This approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It breaks problems into small parts and teaches skills like thought monitoring and behavioral experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes building on strengths and identifying small, achievable changes. Sessions often set short-term goals and try quick strategies that can be tested between meetings. This approach helps when someone wants focused, practical progress on specific issues like workplace stress or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when a written format is easier to process. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
