Background and approach
Bette pays attention to emotions and relationships while helping clients build routines and coping tools. Bette works with people facing grief, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, chronic health problems, caregiver stress, and career strain.
Phobias are included among the concerns she addresses when they come up in work with clients. Her style is nonjudgmental and encouraging. She listens, responds with empathy, and helps break problems into manageable parts.
Sessions emphasize clients' strengths and practical next steps rather than long lists of theory. People who prefer a calm, collaborative therapist who blends emotional awareness with hands-on skills often find her helpful. Bette invites clients to explore what feels most useful to them and to work at a pace that fits their life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as the expert on their life. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while helping clients make decisions and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and stress. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and shift patterns that drive depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy can fit busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to communicate between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options let people access care without long commutes and choose the way that best fits their day-to-day life.
