How her approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety and depression and includes simple exercises and small homework tasks to practice between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental relationship and active listening. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions and build self-worth.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful when someone needs concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will review goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on progress and preference. This collaborative stance helps shape sessions that feel useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people work face to face when time and internet bandwidth allow. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are good for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter connection fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing life demands.
