CBT offers concrete tools for managing worry, low mood, and patterns that get in the way. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach short attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and increase focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on current goals and what feels workable. Sessions can shift over time as needs and priorities change, with a focus on practical steps between meetings.
