How client-centered work and CBT translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and following their lead in sessions. It emphasizes active listening, empathy, and helping the person name what matters most so goals can be clear and achievable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses short exercises and practical experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which methods to try first, adjust based on what helps, and set simple, measurable steps toward the client's goals.
