She keeps the work down-to-earth and focused on what will make life easier day to day. Her practice offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Approaches Becky lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Becky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT focuses on changing specific thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions with simple exercises.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, concrete goals and build on what is already working. This method helps people make quick, manageable changes and track progress in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try out different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief questions, staying connected between sessions, and for people who prefer typing to speaking. These options increase flexibility and help maintain momentum between meetings.
