How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads what matters most. Online sessions can use that same approach to identify immediate concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques work well in remote sessions through worksheets and practice between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and is useful for addictions and behavior change in short, focused conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process determines whether more emotion-focused work, practical CBT skills, or motivational conversations are used.
