How Lydia blends approaches for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. Lydia uses this approach to make people feel heard and to shape therapy around their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking and behavior patterns and teaches simple skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an idea, seeing if it helps, and adjusting the plan together.
