How her methods translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thought patterns and behaviors that worsen anger or mood problems. Online sessions can include skill practice and homework to apply between meetings.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about changing habits such as substance use or repeated anger responses. The therapist asks questions that clarify goals and build motivation.
She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made based on what helps in real life rather than on a fixed plan.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online meetings easier to fit into workdays or caregiving schedules, or prefer a shorter check-in by phone when time or bandwidth is limited. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable in day-to-day life rather than on complex commitments.
