Approaches that guide online work
Kayann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change feelings. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons and plans for change, which is useful for addiction and behavior shifts.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities. That means conversations are shaped by what the person brings and by practical goals agreed together. Figuring out which approach to focus on is part of the early sessions and is decided together based on needs and preferences.
