Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals around the client's values and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and skill building to reduce symptoms like panic, anxiety, or low mood and to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as work progresses.
