How therapeutic styles guide online counseling
Denise draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist places the person’s goals and experience first, offering empathy and genuine listening to help someone name what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect behavior and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they pick methods that fit the person’s needs, combining listening, problem-solving, and skill building when useful.
