Online support

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. In sessions she follows the person’s lead, clarifies what matters most, and shapes goals around those priorities. This helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes setting small behavior goals, tracking thoughts, and trying specific strategies between sessions to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In online work this can mean practicing grounding techniques, learning emotion regulation exercises, and using coaching-style check-ins by message between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between sessions.
