How his approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify their goals and values. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, unclear, or discouraged.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test new thinking and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
