How Carrie blends CBT and client-centered work online
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions usually focus on practical skills - spotting automatic thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic.She also uses client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. That approach helps people clarify goals and decide what they want to work on. Mindfulness exercises are added when useful to help manage stress and bring attention to current experience.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and responses to early exercises and adapts methods over time. This collaborative process helps identify whether CBT techniques, client-centered listening, or mindfulness practices are most helpful.
