How her approaches translate to online work
Tabitha uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and build a trusting working relationship. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can identify their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings before choosing next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or depression. CBT often includes simple exercises to practice between meetings, like tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors, which can work well in remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and connection, which can help people address relationship and attachment concerns through focused conversations and exercises.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tabitha will listen to what matters to the client, discuss different strategies, and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as goals evolve so the work stays practical and relevant.
