Background and approach

Conversations are respectful and warm, and she tailors plans to each person’s situation. In therapy sessions she uses approaches that help people identify patterns, test new behaviors, and build coping skills. Clients can expect clear explanations, step-by-step exercises, and attention to what works in their everyday routines.

The focus is on manageable changes rather than abstract ideas. Her background includes work with a wide range of life stresses and transitions, including career questions, family problems, caregiver strain, and difficulties tied to aging. She also works with mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and with issues like grief, isolation, and financial stress.

The approach is collaborative - she helps clients set goals and checks progress along the way. Sessions mix practical skill building with space to process feelings, so people leave with concrete tools and a clearer path forward.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients find their own solutions, which suits work on relationship strains, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and coping habits, and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions, control issues, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum in the work.

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.
