How Clifford uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters to the client, which can help people feel understood and clarify what they want to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding to anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clifford will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That process is collaborative and adjusts if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice new skills in everyday environments and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising a specific format.
