How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist prioritizes understanding each person's experience and builds goals from what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, actionable changes and steps that move a person toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels useful and realistic.
