How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s point of view and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach usually involve reflective conversation and practical problem discussion to clarify priorities and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems active. In remote sessions CBT work includes identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small behavioral experiments, and reviewing outcomes between sessions to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught and practiced in virtual sessions and then applied during daily life to reduce explosive reactions or escalating arguments.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different tools, and adjust the work based on what helps. The process is about finding practical techniques that fit a person’s needs and preferences.

Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress continues between appointments.
