Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care
Bernadette commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support consistent attendance, and allow clients to use the communication style that works best for them.
