How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people identify what matters most and build on their strengths. This approach is helpful for anyone who needs a calm space to sort through difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or address addictive habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
