How Kayla uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist prioritizes the client's goals and helps them make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kayla will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try strategies that match those priorities. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
