Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, skill building, and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings. She adapts tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to match the person’s goals. Dr.

These help with stronger emotion regulation, clearer communication, and improving closeness in important relationships.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works by noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone copes in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she tailors methods so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can work for quick reflections, real-time coaching, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around parenting, work, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
