How Miranda uses therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set their own goals; this approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice new, more helpful responses. It is practical and often involves small homework tasks to build new habits between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Miranda discusses options and tailors techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts, building motivation, or practicing mindfulness skills.
