How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It emphasizes an accepting, respectful stance and helps people clarify values, identity, and relationship goals. This approach supports work on issues like sexual identity, relationship strain, and emotional regulation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. It uses practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger reactions. CBT is useful when someone wants clear steps to manage strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix skills training with reflective conversation so people leave with both understanding and tools.
