How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. It helps when someone needs a therapist who will follow their lead and support what matters most in their life.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These tools can help with anxiety, grief, and staying grounded during big life changes.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt approaches based on your needs, values, and what you want to accomplish. You and the therapist can try short experiments and adjust the plan as you go.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity during life transitions. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a workday, and let people use mindfulness exercises between meetings.
