How Lyssa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Lyssa commonly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people untangle difficult thoughts and build new habits. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens without judging and follows the client’s lead, which helps people feel understood and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different actions to improve mood and behavior.She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation and commitment to change. That method is conversational and helps people clarify their goals and find internal reasons to keep working toward them. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Lyssa will talk about options and adjust methods to match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences.
