How her approaches translate to online sessions
Barnetta uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions with that approach tend to center on conversation, understanding personal values, and clarifying goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and adjust behavior in practical steps. In online work this often means setting short tasks between sessions and reviewing what changed. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the focus to specific, achievable goals and tests small experiments to see what works in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the first few sessions. Barnetta works collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single technique. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is tracked.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try homework tasks from their usual environment and brings therapy directly into daily routines.
