How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach let people set the pace, name goals, and steer session topics while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In remote sessions this becomes skill-building work: noticing unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand emotions and improve communication in close relationships. When used online it supports clearer emotional expression and targeted practice in how to respond to others. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier with low bandwidth, live chat can support short check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing brief support. These options help fit therapy into busy family and work lives while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
