How Cathy Uses Client-Focused and Goal-Oriented Methods Online
Cathy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on what matters to each person. This approach means the client sets the pace and topics while Cathy listens, reflects, and helps clarify feelings and priorities.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people move through ambivalence. That method involves asking open questions, highlighting strengths, and helping someone find their own reasons for change. It can be useful for addictions, codependency, and motivation around lifestyle shifts.
Solution-Focused Therapy is another element of her work when clients want concrete steps. This approach looks for small, practical changes and builds on what is already working to reach short-term goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Cathy will talk with clients about goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. She helps people decide what feels most useful and adjusts plans together.
