How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for concerns to be named and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, eating and body image worries, and general stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. It uses straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood issues, and disordered eating behaviors.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of urges and emotions. These practices can support people dealing with binge urges, intrusive thoughts, and heightened stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.

For online sessions, please confirm the current format options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can assign simple CBT worksheets, guide brief mindfulness practices, and follow up on progress between meetings to keep momentum going.
