Background and approach

Over her career she has worked with people facing chronic medical issues, trauma, and complex life stressors. Her background includes work on medical teams and with diverse populations. In sessions she uses clear, evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.

She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people find personal meaning and stronger coping. Conversations focus on practical steps, skill building, and shifting unhelpful patterns. Dr.

Solomon tailors plans to each person’s situation. She helps set small, reachable goals and adjusts the plan as progress happens. Parents will find straightforward guidance for parenting stresses, blended family concerns, sleep problems, and communication issues.

Therapy can address issues such as anger, intimacy-related struggles, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and substance use. Sessions aim to improve day-to-day functioning and make coping feel more manageable. Her tone is compassionate and strengths-based, with an emphasis on realistic change.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It creates space for a person to say what matters most and for the therapist to reflect and support. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, validation, and a plan based on their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills such as reframing worries, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building new routines. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress that interfere with parenting or daily life.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be helpful for substance use, commitment concerns, or when making health-related changes feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods as needed. Treatment plans are shaped together based on what works in practice and what feels doable at home.

Online care offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving. The range of formats also allows follow-up between visits and different ways to practice skills in everyday moments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
