She emphasizes practical tools and coaching-style skills for managing symptoms and building resilience.
Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and steps to change habits between meetings. The goal is steady progress people can use in everyday life. Dr.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person needs. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT typically includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior tasks that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team decision. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits day-to-day life and yields useful skills.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls give face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, and brief coaching between sessions. These options let people keep momentum, practice skills, and stay connected to a licensed professional from different settings.
