How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online it means conversations that prioritize the client's concerns and goals, with the therapist checking in about what's most important each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical alternatives. In an online format that often looks like setting small experiments or homework between appointments to test new responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on what helps. That collaboration includes setting concrete goals and reviewing progress in session so changes are visible and practical.
