Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that lead to quick escalations of anger. CBT is practical and focuses on skills such as breathing, thought checks, and behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts are driving current reactions. This approach looks at how specific events shape emotional responses and builds targeted coping strategies to reduce reactivity and intrusive memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Harriette discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as needed. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, look at deeper patterns, or address trauma-related responses.
