Step 3
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In sessions the therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps set small goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It often involves homework and step-by-step practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense emotions and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and daily routines with the client and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Confirm available session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work while traveling or caring for family. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, coaching, and skill practice to an online setting so clients leave with clear steps to try between meetings.
