How Antonia Applies CBT and Related Approaches Online
Antonia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify automatic thoughts and test more effective reactions for problems like anger, anxiety, and depression. CBT sessions focus on specific skills and short experiments clients can try between meetings to change habits. She also works from a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person's concerns in a straightforward way. The psychodynamic element looks at how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current behavior and feelings. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Antonia discusses goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjusts the balance of CBT, client-centered work, and psychodynamic reflection. She reviews what helps most and changes the plan as needed. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here.
