Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and aligning work to what matters most to the person. It creates a space for people to tell their story and for the therapist to reflect and follow the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood issues. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness so a person can respond more calmly to stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit a person’s needs and learning style. If one approach doesn’t feel helpful, alternatives can be tested and adjusted together until a good fit is found.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed, live chat is useful for short, focused exchanges, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or when writing feels easier. These formats offer flexibility to fit work, school, or family routines while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
