How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on clear conversation, identifying priorities, and setting small, achievable goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests new ways of responding. Online CBT often includes short exercises to practice between sessions and tracking patterns in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. When used online it can involve teaching and practicing skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation in accessible steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative decision can shift as needs change.
The original profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when helpful. They can also support regular practice of skills between appointments so work in sessions carries over into everyday routines.
