  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a safe, respectful space so the person leads the pace and topics. This approach helps when people want a therapist who follows their concerns and priorities.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fear.

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and encourages small, achievable steps. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

    Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing progress, and adjusting the plan together.

    The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to make therapy practical for daily life.
