How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy means sessions begin with the client's priorities and move at their pace. The focus is on listening and shaping each session around what the person wants to address, which helps when dealing with trauma or life shifts.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that can be tried right away. It centers on clear goals and steps to reach them, useful for addiction recovery and adjusting to new circumstances.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past experiences affect current behavior and feelings. It involves naming those effects and practicing manageable skills to reduce their hold over daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client work together to decide what methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful. Plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try approaches in ways that match each person's routine.
