How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships influence feelings and coping. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s concerns; it helps people feel heard and decide what matters most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with people about their goals and preferences and choose techniques together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a person needs now, whether the focus is short-term problem solving or exploring deeper relationship patterns.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the ability to continue weekly work during life transitions. Ask about the available formats when you sign up so sessions match your routine and needs.
