How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client guide the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is useful for people who want support in finding their own answers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to try different ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT is commonly used for depression, social anxiety, and mood disorders.

The Gottman Method centers on repairing and improving communication in relationships. It involves skill-building around shared understanding, conflict management, and rebuilding connection after conflicts or separation. This approach is often chosen when relationship patterns are a main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a few ideas and adjusting what isn’t working until sessions feel useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make attendance simpler when caregiving duties, work schedules, or mobility make in-person visits difficult.
