How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and on following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can talk through their concerns and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or anxiety and teaches practical skills to change them.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
