How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Gazaria uses client-centered therapy to listen without judgment and follow the concerns a person brings. This approach helps people feel heard and helps identify personal strengths to build on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change thought and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand attachment and relational patterns and can be useful when intimacy or relationship distress is a focus.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Gazaria discusses goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs with each person and adjusts the mix of approaches over time. She aims to match interventions to what the person says is most important, whether that means short-term skills work or deeper emotional exploration.
