Using her approaches in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals so clients feel understood and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It is practical and often uses short exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences in early sessions and recommend which methods to try. This work is collaborative and can be adjusted as goals change.
