How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist offers nonjudgmental attention and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity, which helps with anxiety, anger, and relationship stress.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps. Sessions identify clear goals and track progress week to week, making it easier to notice changes in stress, sleep, or communication patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust plans until something fits the client's needs.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
