How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Mentor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new skills between meetings to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify priorities and values. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for brief goal-oriented work that breaks problems into manageable steps and highlights immediate next actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust those methods over time based on what helps most.
