How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship questions, and grief by focusing on the client’s goals and experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is problem-focused and practical. It looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and some ADHD-related strategies.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes brief, goal-oriented work. Sessions identify small, doable steps and notice what changes when those steps are tried. This method can be useful for coping with life transitions, career decisions, and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist decide together on goals and practical next steps.
