Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist provides empathy and reflection so people can explore what matters and make their own choices. This approach often helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making sense of life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT tends to be goal-oriented and useful for day-to-day symptom relief.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life purpose. It helps people face uncertainty, grief, and big life questions by clarifying what matters most and making choices that align with personal values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That may mean combining a practical technique with narrative or meaning-focused work so progress happens on multiple levels.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk-based methods and skills training adapt well to remote work, and the therapist will help choose the session rhythm and tools that suit daily life.
