How Leah’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions start with the concerns you bring and proceed at your pace, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and between-session practice to test unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors that reduce distress.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying strategies, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting plans together.
