Background and approach

She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients, tailoring the approach to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own answers; this is useful for building self-esteem and making sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits, and improve coping with stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anger, grief, or intense stress make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaboration aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. These formats allow regular contact, flexible scheduling, and continued work between meetings using exercises and messages tailored by the therapist.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
