How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the pace set by the client to explore feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone needs space to talk through their fears, grief, or relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and habits tied to substance use.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try strategies and adjust them based on what helps.
