About Geraldine

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and clear feedback. The therapist follows the client's concerns and helps guide conversations toward the goals the client names. It is useful for people needing someone to reflect back what they notice about their life and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It teaches concrete techniques for regulating distress and for handling conflict more effectively.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily realities. That means trying a technique and adjusting based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit into busy lives - it can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical features help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday responsibilities.
