How Leslie Uses Structured Therapies in Online Sessions
Leslie commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centered conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify specific thought and behavior patterns and introduces small experiments to test new responses. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily functioning while using focused techniques to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans based on results and feedback.
