How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening, respect, and following the person’s lead so they set the pace and topics for sessions. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and to clarify what matters to them most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and suggests small experiments or skills people can try between meetings. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns like substance use.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether client-centered work, CBT techniques, or a mix feels most useful given their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as people try different ways of working together.
