How Pamela’s approaches translate to online work
Pamela uses client-centered therapy to center conversations around each person's goals and experiences. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, which helps when prioritizing immediate concerns like stress, parenting, or recovery.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another method she uses. CBT breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and introduces concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, addictive behaviors, and day-to-day coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t working.
The practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try short check-ins when needed, and practice skills between sessions.
