Client-Centered and CBT Approaches in Online Therapy

Adrienne draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, empathic space where each person’s experience is heard and validated. This approach emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective and collaborating to set goals, making it useful for stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools and exercises that can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adrienne works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts the plan over time to support progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and continue care during life changes, while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and personalized care that Adrienne brings to in-person work.
