How his approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. In practice that means sessions center on the client's concerns and move at their chosen pace, which can help with issues like anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. It uses clear, practical steps to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and routines, which can be useful for panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest options. Then the two will decide together what techniques to try and how to measure progress over time.
