How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as an individual. The therapist reflects back what she hears and supports people in finding their own solutions, which helps with issues like low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skill-building such as spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Existential therapy invites people to clarify their values and life direction. It is useful for coping with big changes, questions about meaning, and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team process where adjustments are made as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people sustain regular work on stress, anxiety, and other concerns.
