How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment, helping clients feel heard and supported while they figure out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical goals and concrete steps to create change over time.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will work together with the client to choose or blend methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and current circumstances. That helps keep sessions focused and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed.
