How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT is presented as practical skill-building online. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing those thoughts with experiments, and practicing specific behavior changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and coping with life changes.Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. Online sessions use this style to explore values and boost motivation before moving into action steps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and what works now rather than lengthy problem histories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences and adjusts plans as progress is reviewed. Clients help set goals and choose which techniques to prioritize.
