How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Faris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with concrete exercises that can be practiced between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build committed action toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their life.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and check progress as they go.
