How Antoinette Uses Client-Centered Work and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name priorities, and supports you in exploring feelings and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through complex emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, panic, and problems that feel stuck in daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Antoinette will work with each person to decide whether a listening-focused style, CBT skills, or a mix fits best. She checks in about goals and adjusts methods based on how sessions are going.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel on a hectic day. Discuss with the therapist how to shape session length and frequency so therapy fits your routine.
