She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors.

Sessions are aimed at learning practical skills, improving communication, and building healthier routines.
She also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to set achievable goals and sustain change. Her approach is steady and goal-oriented, with room for exploring feelings and personal history. People who prefer clear steps and collaborative problem solving may find her style a good match.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape adult patterns. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practice new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings. In virtual sessions this often means setting small experiments between meetings and reviewing what worked.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the problems they want to solve. That conversation can happen over an initial video or phone session and be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people show facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options let clients fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines while using the chosen therapeutic approaches to address anger, relationships, anxiety, and life transitions.
