How Betsy uses structured approaches for online sessions
Betsy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make thinking patterns visible. CBT means noticing automatic thoughts, testing them in day-to-day life, and practicing clearer responses. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals. That method emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters and decide next steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to slow down reactivity and increase awareness of bodily sensations and emotions, which can help with stress and coping during life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Betsy will discuss goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and aimed at practical changes that can be measured over time.
