Her work emphasizes goal-setting and solution-focused steps. Together with each person she identifies strengths and builds skills that fit their life. Sessions include learning coping strategies and practicing stress management techniques between meetings.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people steer their own direction. In practice that means the therapist follows your lead, reflects your experience, and helps you build on strengths you already have.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real evidence. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce symptoms like worry and panic.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and breathing or relaxation practices. These tools help reduce intense physical reactions and calm the body during anxious moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. This is a collaborative process where techniques are matched to a person's needs and preferences rather than imposed.
