How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people examine unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often involves identifying negative thinking patterns, testing them against real situations, and practicing small changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes setting clear, short-term goals and building on existing strengths. This approach can be useful for tackling practical problems like sleep, coping with stress, or improving communication by focusing on what works now and expanding it.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and daily reality, then suggest whether CBT, Solution-Focused techniques, or a blend makes the most sense. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps.
