04Online support
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them find their own solutions and build on existing strengths. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort feelings and make personal decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, and many addiction-related patterns by giving clear skills to practice between sessions.
EMDR is a method that can help people process traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. In short, it combines focused attention on troubling memories with guided bilateral stimulation to lessen the emotional charge. This approach is often used when past events keep showing up in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or a mix of methods. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
