How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. It helps people sort through feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep stress or anger going and teaches practical ways to shift those patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps identify personal reasons for change and builds momentum for trying new actions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what works for the person.
