How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This fits issues like anger, family conflict, and self-esteem work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep anger and anxiety active. This approach is useful for panic, mood concerns, and impulsive reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when frustration builds or reactions feel out of control.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed to fit the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, or reduce the need to travel. Talk with the therapist about what session length and rhythm would work best for daily life.
