She also draws on emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas when it fits the situation.

Approach and online options for changing patterns
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the work and the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This helps people who feel stuck express themselves and test new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for managing anger, anxiety, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to reduce distress and improve connection.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time if a different focus would be more helpful, and experiments in session help determine what fits best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to write through difficult moments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel, while letting licensed professionals and therapists collaborate with clients from different locations.
