How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and offering genuine, engaged responses. Online sessions let a therapist listen closely, reflect back what they hear, and offer feedback to help someone notice patterns in anger and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to see what helps. In remote sessions, CBT can be used to spot triggers for anger, try new responses between sessions, and review what worked or didn’t.
Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person’s own reasons for change and build momentum step by step. This approach works well when someone feels stuck or conflicted about changing habits related to anger or substance use.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adapting as needs evolve. That collaboration includes setting short-term steps and checking progress together.
The biography notes experience with texts, video chat, phone calls, and video conferencing, but confirm which formats are offered when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend.
