Online support options
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a supportive working relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It is useful when strong feelings make day-to-day life harder.
She will collaborate with each person to find the best combination of approaches. The choice of methods depends on a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, use shorter check-ins when needed, and choose formats that match their comfort with being on camera or typing. The flexibility of these formats makes it easier to keep work going between appointments and practice new skills in everyday life.
