04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In online sessions she creates space for each person to tell their story and set their own goals, which helps with issues like relationship strain, grief, or low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT usually includes short exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and practical tasks to try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, addiction cravings, and managing strong emotions during everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can shift as goals change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the conversation feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a shorter touch point fits a busy day.
