Background and approach

She emphasizes collaboration and helps each person find tools that fit their needs and routine. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, workplace stress, and issues tied to pregnancy or midlife shifts.

How CBT and Mindfulness Work Online

The practice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and checking what works in everyday life.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment. This approach teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce rumination and help with mood and stress regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. Sessions are paced to match what the person needs and to focus on small, achievable steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, and skill practice between longer sessions. These options add flexibility for people balancing work, childcare, or other commitments.
