How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Kean often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase distress and to try small behavioral experiments that can change how they feel. CBT sessions tend to be structured and practical, which can make them well suited to focused online meetings.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship or intimacy issues come up, helping people name emotions and understand how they shape interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kean will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
