How Trish Uses Practical Therapies Online
Trish commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and what is already working, which can be helpful for moving through life transitions and relationship challenges.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Trish will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they monitor progress and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and priorities.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try practical homework and skill-building between meetings, which aligns with CBT and solution-focused methods.
