How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Sharhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, then helps people test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, stress, and unhelpful thinking patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person says about their life. This approach supports clearer goal setting and stronger communication skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short paying-attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback on what helps and what does not.
