04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps build trust and clarity by making the client feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep troubles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and then practice new ways of responding in close relationships, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. This makes the process collaborative and tailored rather than fixed from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact while fitting sessions into a busy day. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quicker progress notes, or continuing momentum between scheduled sessions.
