04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. Online sessions use that same stance, letting clients set the pace while the therapist reflects what she hears and helps clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In video or phone sessions, the therapist teaches simple exercises and homework people can do between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.
EMDR is an approach used for processing traumatic memories. In an online setting the therapist guides clients through structured steps to reduce distress and build new ways of relating to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or hands-on coaching between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different routines.
