Therapeutic approaches and how they help in online work
Elizabeth Moonan combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with strengths-based and person-centered practice. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Strengths-based work highlights what already works for a person and builds on those skills to increase resilience and motivation. Person-centered work centers on listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person’s goals to create a collaborative space for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Moonan will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
