How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Carla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on concrete skills - noticing patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to speak openly while the therapist listens without directing the process, which helps clarify priorities and values.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. The therapist and client check in about what is helping and try alternatives when needed.
