Approaches used and what online therapy offers
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to help them build confidence and find solutions. This approach can be helpful for improving self-esteem and navigating identity or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, reducing procrastination, improving organization, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT tools are often practical and easy to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Sullivan will talk with you about goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused on real-world changes.
