How her approaches shape online therapy
Dr. Miller commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows the person's needs, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel like the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.
