How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps the person name goals and next steps; it suits people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try small experiments to change them. It often involves setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress, which adapts well to video or messaging formats where homework can be shared and reviewed.

Mindfulness therapy teaches short exercises to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Techniques such as brief breathing practices or grounding exercises can be demonstrated during a video call and practiced daily between contacts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before, then try approaches that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted together as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill demonstration, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps with ongoing support and homework reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life.
