Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Chana Rivka Hersh uses approaches that emphasize relationships, personal experience, and practical skills.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the individual's perspective, offering empathic listening and support so clients can clarify their goals and make choices aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That teamwork guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured.
