Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Benita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce rumination, which can ease stress and improve emotional balance. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s current difficulties; this work aims to process trauma in a paced, supportive way and to reduce its ongoing impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Benita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as clients progress, treating therapy as a partnership.
