How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space and helps the client shape goals at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts link to feelings and behavior. It uses simple exercises and homework to change thinking patterns and build new habits for anxiety, depression, or anger.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method used when someone feels stuck. It helps uncover personal reasons for change and boosts motivation to try concrete steps toward those goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is evaluated.
