04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps uncover practical next steps for current problems. This approach supports people who want a steady, empathetic presence while they sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings by teaching tools for thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and concrete coping plans.
Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. Simple breathing and grounding practices are taught and practiced in sessions so clients can use them between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person's life and aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit a break during a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and practice skills in real time, wherever it fits the client's routine.
