How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping people feel heard so they can identify their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises and small experiments to shift patterns that cause distress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on concrete goals and quick steps forward, often by identifying strengths and past successes.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest using one or more methods together. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as goals change.
