How Portia uses CBT and Mindfulness online
Portia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can change feelings. CBT sessions often include setting simple experiments between meetings and practicing new ways of thinking about problems.
She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices in sessions are short exercises people can reuse during stressful moments to feel steadier and more present.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Portia will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. Together they adapt tools from CBT and mindfulness to suit daily life and changing needs.
