She asks clear questions and offers concrete steps to practice between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves open listening and responding to what the client brings up, which helps people clarify goals and feel understood. This approach supports work on relationship worries, self-esteem, and social anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and phobia-related avoidance.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It can help with racing thoughts, sleep trouble, and moments of high stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something does not fit.
