Practical therapy approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals so decisions come from the client. This approach is useful when people need space to make sense of changes and to set personal priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and patterns that make daily life harder.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and on what is already working. Sessions identify practical next steps and build on strengths, which can speed progress when facing life transitions or coaching goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and can adjust strategies as progress is reviewed.
