Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's concerns so sessions reflect what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral work looks closely at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and supplies concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
