Her approach aims to help clients gain insight into the patterns that have supported past successes and to translate that awareness into new skills and confidence for meeting current challenges.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive therapeutic relationship. It helps people who want to explore personal values, improve self-understanding, and strengthen relationships by working at a pace that feels right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning, teaching strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and develop new coping tools.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive reactions. It can be especially helpful for people facing emotional regulation challenges or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Licensed professionals, including therapists, will work with clients to match methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences so that the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied life circumstances. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use formats that align with how a client prefers to communicate.
