How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for parenting stress and relationship communication problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people spot patterns, test new actions, and reduce mood symptoms or anger with concrete exercises and homework.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. It can be especially helpful for addictions and for people who feel unsure about making a change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't needed. Talk with the therapist about what schedule and session length will work best for your situation.
