Online support options
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people who need a supportive space to name goals and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. The Gottman Method centers on communication and interaction patterns and can help when improving how people talk through conflict is a priority.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel most helpful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what actually helps the person make progress.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when a video link is not possible or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain steady momentum toward goals.
