How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. Online sessions let the therapist and client build that listening relationship through conversation, reflection, and supportive feedback that fits into a busy life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them. In video or messaging sessions, CBT tools can be taught, practiced, and reviewed between meetings to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.
Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting. Short guided exercises work well in phone or video sessions and can be assigned as brief daily practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try approaches and adjust based on what feels most useful and doable for the person.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
