How Lauren's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. In practice this means sessions focus on the client's concerns, pacing, and priorities while the therapist listens and mirrors what matters most to the person. This approach is useful for people facing grief, low mood, or identity-related struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits linked to addiction. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and building on what already helps in daily life, which can be helpful when someone wants faster, goal-directed change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust as work progresses. Clients take part in planning goals and choosing exercises that suit their lifestyle.
