How Diane Uses Client-Centered and Goal-Focused Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they describe their life. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can find their own direction and make choices that fit their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks problems into specific patterns and tries practical changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals. It highlights strengths and what already works, then builds simple steps to move forward from there.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
