How Carmen's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that make anxiety and low mood worse. It often involves setting small experiments and practicing new reactions to daily stressors.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. This approach aims to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client guides the direction of work.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps. It helps people identify what is already working and build on those strengths to make quick, useful changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
