How her approaches translate to online care

Ava uses client-centered therapy to center each visit on what the person says matters most. That method focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set goals that feel relevant and doable. It is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to sort priorities and try different coping ideas.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT-style work often includes practical exercises and brief homework tasks that translate well to video or text exchanges. Mindfulness approaches are another part of her toolkit and help people build awareness of stress responses and practice simple regulation skills between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Ava will work with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That conversation usually happens in the first few meetings and continues over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping continuity of care.
