Online support

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a supportive relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and quick steps forward. It is useful for people who want brief, action-oriented work to solve immediate problems or improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions and keep progress on track. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit real life.
