How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches simple strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers straightforward practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention, useful for stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting as needs change.
