How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and adapting to what matters to each person, helping people feel heard and guiding the conversation around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching clear exercises to try between sessions, which can be especially helpful for ADHD and social anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build internal motivation for change, useful when someone wants to try new habits but feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative choice and can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, allow quicker check-ins when problems come up, and reduce travel time. They also let people try different pacing and follow-up between meetings, so skills practice can become part of everyday life.
