How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It involves open conversation, reflective questions, and support for practical steps that address daily stress and relationship concerns.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. In practice this means guiding a person through focused exercises while discussing how past events affect current feelings and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, comfort, and what feels most helpful. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
