Client-centered care and online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people identify their own goals. This approach is useful for grief, parenting questions, the stress of caregiving, and adjusting to a medical diagnosis.

She also uses strength-based and solution-focused ideas in sessions. That means conversations highlight what is already working and look for small, practical steps people can try between meetings. These methods are helpful when someone needs clear next steps rather than long-term problem analysis.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adjust the approach over time as goals change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for continuity of care during medical treatment or while balancing caregiving responsibilities.
