How Anita Uses Talk Therapy and Mindfulness Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. Anita listens carefully, reflects back what she hears, and helps people name goals they want to reach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it often includes small experiments and clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple breathing and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and aid sleep and stress management.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Anita will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose methods to try and check in often to see what is helping and what needs adjustment.
