How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports practical steps that fit day-to-day life.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps lessen the intensity of painful memories. It involves guided processing of distressing events to reduce emotional charge and improve functioning.
Trauma-focused therapy targets the reactions that follow hurtful or frightening experiences. It uses structured approaches to help people feel less overwhelmed by memories and to regain routines and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs and comfort, and adjust as progress is made. Decisions are collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give more flexibility for scheduling and for continuing work between in-person commitments.
