Online support options
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes in relationships and self-image.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical exercises to reduce worry, manage mood, and change habits that get in the way of daily life.
The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process that begins with goals, current challenges, and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people have face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules and to continue care when life gets busy.
