Work in sessions can include talking through recent conflicts, practicing coping skills, setting goals for behavior change, and using short exercises to calm the body or sharpen attention. She also brings in motivational interviewing techniques when someone is weighing change around substances or habits.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. Online work with this approach often centers on clear questions, reflection, and collaboration to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include worksheets, behavior plans, and brief skill practice between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve connection and self-understanding. In an online setting this can mean guided emotion-focused exercises and talking through relationship patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match current problems, personal goals, and how they prefer to work. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use lower-bandwidth options when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills between meetings and keep therapeutic work in step with daily life.
