How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and pace, with the therapist listening closely and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and directs sessions toward their personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear skills people can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. These tools are often helpful for strong mood shifts, anger, relationship strain, and managing intense feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or moments between full sessions. These options give more flexibility for scheduling, maintaining steady contact, and using tools from CBT and DBT in everyday life.
