How her approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It’s useful for goals like reducing addictive behaviors or making parenting shifts by building internal motivation.
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood. This approach helps people explore values, process emotions, and decide what matters most to them.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It often suits anxiety, depression, and mood regulation tasks where concrete skills and homework make a difference.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what’s worked before. Together they pick or blend methods so sessions feel useful and aligned with the client’s life.
Session logistics vary by therapist and platform, and the profile does not list specific formats. Confirm current online options before booking. People often find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a work break, avoid travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Online sessions can make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between meetings. -
