2. How her approaches guide online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people explore their own reasons for change. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone find personally meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by using empathy and acceptance to make it easier to open up and try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns.
   
   Finding the right approach is often part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things out together and adjusting based on what feels useful and realistic.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care during life transitions. The therapist uses her stated approaches to structure sessions so they focus on practical skill building and clear next steps.
