Each week builds on the last so skills accumulate over time. Therapy can include short teaching moments, practice exercises, and planning for real-world application. Her style is compassionate and direct, aimed at helping clients feel understood and capable of change.
She asks questions, offers tools, and tracks progress toward goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and develop more supported ways of connecting.Client-centered therapy makes the person's experience central. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions to problems like anxiety, grief, or relationship strain.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that support mood, focus, and behavior changes related to ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client's day-to-day needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, ongoing support, and options for people who prefer writing or need quick access between sessions.
