That means she listens closely, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and sets small goals that build momentum.

She has provided individual and group care and has supervised students and clinicians pursuing state licensure.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is most important, and helps clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, panic, OCD-type worries, and mood challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small changes that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify strengths and set short-term, concrete tasks to build momentum. Deciding which of these approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful in daily life.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and do longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines while still using client-centered and skills-based techniques.
