Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers; online sessions use that same responsive, empathetic conversation to identify priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change them; CBT tools work well in video or phone sessions where homework and tracking can be discussed together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced in between sessions and reviewed over text or live chat.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily routines. That choice can change over time as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to exchange brief updates, try coaching techniques between appointments, or check in when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
