Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person’s lead and builds a plan around their goals and pace. Online sessions can focus on what matters most to the client and adapt as needs change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. In a remote session CBT can include brief exercises, guided homework, and check-ins to measure progress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and handle strong emotions. These practices can be introduced in session and practiced between appointments to reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s needs, preferences, and goals and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted over time.
