Therapeutic approaches and what they look like online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s voice first. The therapist asks open questions and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.Rebecca may also use mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional ups and downs. Mindfulness work involves short practices that increase awareness of thoughts and bodily signals, which can ease reactivity and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break, or remove travel time. Others use brief guided mindfulness exercises between sessions as a practical way to apply skills in daily life.
