How Betsy’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify values and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental listener as they sort out big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. It uses short exercises and homework to test new ways of coping, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try specific techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means methods may shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, keep regular check-ins, or use brief meetings for quick progress reviews. It can also allow practicing skills between sessions in the places where challenges actually happen.
