How Rhiannon uses structured approaches in online sessions
Rhiannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behavioral responses. CBT sessions often include specific exercises, thought records, and small assigned tasks to practice between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy is used to listen to a person's narrative and reflect what matters to them, helping clarify personal goals and values.Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that reduce reactivity. These skills can help with anxiety, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions. The therapist combines these approaches based on what a person needs and prefers, and this choice is made collaboratively during early sessions.
