Small experiments and goal-focused conversation are common tools in sessions.

CBT helps people map out thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then try small, practical experiments to shift those patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goal setting and identifying strengths to move toward specific changes.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Frances will discuss goals, try an approach briefly, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. The process is oriented around clear steps and measurable next actions rather than vague aims.
