How these approaches guide online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting patterns of thought that lead to distress and trying small behavior changes to test new results. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles. Narrative therapy looks at personal stories and how they shape identity; shifting the story can change how a problem feels and what choices seem possible. Solution-focused therapy centers on concrete goals and next steps, which can help when someone wants faster, practical improvements.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress becomes clear or as priorities change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a busy day, avoid travel time, or pick a shorter check-in when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to continue therapy through life changes while keeping work and family routines intact.
