How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters and set personal goals during conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets thoughts and behaviors with short exercises and practice tasks that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tiffany will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust the plan as progress is made and as practical concerns arise.
