How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of each session. The therapist listens deeply, follows what matters to the individual, and helps set goals that fit daily life. This approach is helpful for people wanting a supportive space to sort through stress, relationships, or career concerns.Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. The work helps separate problems from identity and find new ways to tell a more empowering story. This is useful for issues like shame, family of origin problems, and feeling stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to virtual work and support practical changes that carry into everyday routines.
