How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and strengths. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life purpose.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address panic or impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test approaches and shape a plan based on goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as needed to focus on problem areas and daily functioning.
