How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflection. Online sessions keep that same give-and-take through conversation, helping identify what matters most and what causes anger or stress. This approach is useful when someone wants clearer priorities and a supportive, responsive listener.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that fuel angry reactions. In practice this means spotting unhelpful thinking, testing it, and practicing different responses between meetings. CBT is often chosen for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes concrete skills and brief experiments.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing exercises to reduce automatic reactivity. These practices can be shown and practiced during sessions and then used in daily life to interrupt flare-ups and bring calm focus back to decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and then suggest methods to try. That way sessions remain collaborative and adjust as needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Ask about the available session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what will fit your routine.
