How Deborah Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Deborah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT involves identifying thought patterns, trying brief experiments, and tracking results to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or compulsive behaviors.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. That approach means sessions are guided by what the client wants to address and by building practical ways to move toward those goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Deborah works with clients to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan and the kinds of exercises used between meetings.
