How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world actions. It often involves short-term exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that affect relationships and parenting.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds on small changes. It is goal-oriented and useful for people who want quick, concrete strategies to handle specific problems like communication issues, stress, or coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust plans if something feels off.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the original profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to attend from different locations or time zones. Discussing practical scheduling needs and whether phone or video would work better is part of the first arrangements.
