How CBT Fits into Online Therapy and What to Expect
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions teach practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new coping strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and mood swings.In session Loretta uses clear exercises and real-life practice. That might include tracking moods, testing a new behavior, or practicing thought checks between meetings. These tasks are shared and reviewed together so progress is visible and adjustments are made collaboratively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and tailor techniques to what fits best. Collaboration is emphasized rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
