Background and approach
She also brings experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions. She helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between sessions.
Homework is offered as a tool to track progress and build momentum. Sessions are grounded in clear goals and step-by-step change rather than only talk. She emphasizes dignity and respect, and she works from each person’s starting point rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
People who want practical, structured support may find this approach helpful. She aims to help clients put new habits into place so daily life feels more manageable.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel. It uses concrete exercises and goal-setting to address anxiety, depression, stress, and mood symptoms.The therapist emphasizes practical steps and at-home practice. That means clients may try short exercises during the week, track reactions, and bring observations back to session. This approach is useful for people who want clear tools they can use between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands together and adjust strategies over time. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques and pace suit each situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face remotely. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging may suit quick check-ins and ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or medical appointments.
