How Brenda uses CBT and Solution-Focused approaches online

This approach is useful for people who want practical steps and quick ways to test changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Solution-Focused work, or a mix fits their needs and goals. That choice can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
