Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore their values, goals, and feelings - it is useful for people seeking empathy and clarity during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult emotions, which can reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then blends techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan that fits the client's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with licensed professionals - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during times of transition, and access support from home. She uses these formats to provide consistent, accessible therapy while adjusting the method of communication to what feels most helpful for each client.
