She also uses Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and Motivational Interviewing to increase readiness for change. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear short-term goals and measure progress.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nancy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts influence mood and behavior, then tries small experiments to change those patterns. CBT is useful for depression, bipolar symptoms, managing grief, and responses after trauma.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening to the person’s perspective and building therapy around their priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used to boost motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change, often when people struggle with substance use or making major life shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She and the client will review goals and preferences together and choose methods that fit those aims. That collaborative planning may combine CBT exercises, motivational conversations, and short solution-focused steps.
Confirm current session delivery options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-in meetings when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
