How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps people decide their own next steps; this suits concerns like relationship problems, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts by giving clear exercises and strategies to try between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change behaviors such as cutting back substance use or improving routines. It uses open questions and gentle feedback to build motivation and practical plans.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needs evolve. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and focused.
