How JoDee approaches CBT and solution-focused work online
JoDee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new responses. CBT focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce stress, anxiety, and anger-related reactions.She also draws on solution-focused Therapy and motivational interviewing. Solution-focused work narrows in on what is already working and builds small, achievable goals. Motivational interviewing helps clarify motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be useful when someone is stuck or resistant to new behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. JoDee discusses goals and preferences early on and adjusts methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process means trying concrete techniques, reviewing how they feel, and shifting course when needed.
