How CBT and Client-Centered Methods Work Online
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thought that increase stress or anxiety and then try small behavioral changes to test different outcomes. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, ADHD symptoms, impulsivity, and mood concerns.Client-Centered Therapy in her work means listening closely to what matters to the client and using that as the starting point for any plan. This approach emphasizes the client's priorities and personal goals while the therapist offers reflective listening and guidance.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That process includes checking progress and adjusting techniques if something is not working.
