These options allow discussion, skill practice, and regular check-ins in formats that fit differing schedules and communication preferences. The structure of remote sessions is adapted to the person’s needs and the goals established together.
Her clinical work integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and partnering to clarify what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or mood difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also used to set attainable steps and maintain momentum between sessions. People who prefer collaborative, skills-oriented work and clear short-term goals often find this combination fits their needs. Remote sessions use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on the selected plan.
