How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values and aims to create a space where they can talk through what matters to them. This approach fits issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and finding direction in life.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps toward change. It is useful when someone wants specific actions and quick strategies for problems like stress, communication issues, or parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Decisions about pace and focus come from both the client and the therapist together.
