How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and helping each person lead the process. Online sessions use that same listening-first stance so goals come from the client rather than a preset plan. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer priorities, or support making decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change them. In remote sessions, CBT tools often include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework tasks that can be reviewed over video or messaging to track progress.

Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on how people connect and communicate in close relationships. Online formats allow partners or individuals to practice new ways of speaking and responding between sessions, with the therapist guiding that learning during video work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for full-session work and observing interactional patterns. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
