Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Noreen draws on client-centered therapy to put the person’s goals first and adjust work to each situation. This approach centers what matters to the individual and guides the conversation toward practical changes.She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. Mindfulness can support coping with stress, chronic illness, grief, and anxiety by teaching simple awareness and grounding practices.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find internal reasons for change and set achievable goals. That method is useful for substance concerns, health behavior shifts, and building momentum when motivation feels low.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats can also help when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, so check what is offered and choose what fits best.
