How Andrea’s approaches can work online
Client-centered work focuses on your priorities and what matters to you. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps you set practical goals that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into smaller steps and teaches strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve awareness of thoughts and feelings, which can help with coping and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Andrea will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that suit your situation and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the focus on what helps you make progress.
