Approach and online therapy fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's own strengths. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space and follows the client's lead to develop goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is often used to address stress, depressive symptoms, and patterns linked to addiction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which strategies to try first and adjusts the plan based on how things are going. This is a team effort where goals, pace, and methods come from the client's needs and preferences.
