CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors through specific exercises and practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and using the client's own goals to shape the sessions. Emotionally-focused techniques focus on patterns in relationships and how emotions drive interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. Sessions can blend techniques so practical problem-solving and emotional work happen together.
