She has served as a medical social worker supporting individuals with chronic health conditions and new health concerns, and she has provided therapy and education to both children and adults at a local domestic violence agency.

Her approach is individualized and collaborative - she adapts each session to meet the unique needs of the person in front of her, focusing on listening, validation, and practical steps toward client goals.

One of the main benefits of remote care is flexibility. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity over time.

Licensed therapists offer a variety of approaches and you can switch providers if you feel another fit would better support your goals. For people balancing health concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints, online therapy can expand access to professional support while allowing for consistent treatment in ways that suit everyday life.
