Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship and helping clients find their own solutions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and next steps. Together, these methods are chosen collaboratively; Ruth works with each person to decide which approach or combination feels most useful for their goals.
