How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered work puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens, reflects what matters most, and helps shape goals that feel right. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then trying practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds attention to the present moment and basic skills for managing stress and difficult emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful.
Confirm the available session options when booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between appointments. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations and short skill-building exercises that can be practiced between meetings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and the best way to use online sessions to support everyday routines.
