How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work
Lisa draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. That means the work starts with listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. Client-centered work is useful for emotion-focused concerns like grief, relationship stress, and self-esteem.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT brings practical exercises you can try between meetings, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and mood regulation. Mindfulness practices are included to build skills for calming the body and noticing difficult feelings without getting swept away.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
