Approaches that guide online work and fit your life
Jeffrey primarily uses a strength-based stance and cognitive-behavioral techniques. A strength-based approach focuses on the client’s existing skills and resources, and helps apply them to current problems like parenting stress or low self esteem. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what works. Progress is tracked together so adjustments can be made when needed.
