How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and gentle guidance. The therapist follows the client's concerns and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for building self-esteem and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and encourage small behavior changes that improve day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and can adjust strategies as progress is made.
