How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive, nonjudgmental connection. In online sessions this means the therapist centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and adjusts pacing and questions to match each person’s needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. Online CBT sessions often include practical homework, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can try between video or phone appointments.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and sensations without reacting immediately. These practices can be guided during video calls or reinforced through short text check-ins and audio exercises sent between sessions.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. This shared decision-making helps find a style that feels useful and realistic.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and demonstrations of skills, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
