Therapeutic approaches used in virtual sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to process feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain distress.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear, short-term goals. Sessions emphasize what is already working and small steps to reach desired changes. This can help with concrete problems like managing stress, improving communication, or addressing addictive urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
