How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen and reflect back what matters most to you, helping identify goals and next steps. This approach works well when someone wants an empathetic space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often includes short exercises, worksheets, and homework that can be reviewed over video or text. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress management.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be introduced in short lessons during phone or video sessions and practiced between meetings using messages or chat for brief check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online formats offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversation and worksheets, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging helps maintain momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
