Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, not full of jargon. Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and licenses listed as LPC, MD LCPC. That experience informs how she blends different methods to match each person’s needs.

Online support
How existential and skills-based work fit online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people want to live. Online sessions let clients talk through life questions, loss, and identity concerns while exploring values and direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and commit to value-driven actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions and translates well to remote sessions with exercises to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and clarity; it supports exploring feelings and making decisions in a steady, nonjudgmental way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, current needs, and preferences. That might mean focusing on meaning-making for one client and on skill-building for another, or combining approaches over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for regular check-ins and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, timely coping strategies, and when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
