How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client feels is most important. The therapist centers each session on the person’s concerns, reflecting feelings and supporting their own problem solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in emotional connection. It is often used when communication and closeness are stuck, and it helps people access and reshape key emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also can make it simpler to include bilingual support in either English or Spanish. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like EFT or solution-focused work to an online setting to keep conversations focused and action-oriented while helping clients practice new skills between meetings.
