Background and approach
Her practice draws on client-centered work to follow each person's lead. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want and build commitment to change.
She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and practical steps that can be tried between sessions. Together these approaches are mixed to fit a person's style and situation rather than imposing one fixed method. Dr.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the counselor's agenda. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to help clarify needs and goals. This is useful for people unsure where to start when feeling overwhelmed.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce worry and reactivity. Short breathing or grounding exercises can be used during sessions to help manage anxiety or depressive moments and then practiced between appointments.
Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. The therapist asks open questions and highlights a person's own reasons for change so they can build motivation at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins or when writing feels more natural. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and to continue care across distances.
