How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and partnering around what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps the person set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and support steady coping; these techniques are useful for stress, impulsivity, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That means trying practical skills, checking in about how they feel, and changing course when something isn’t working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow regular practice of CBT exercises and mindfulness between meetings, helping people apply what they learn to daily routines.
