How Gwenda’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Gwenda draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach is useful for people seeking acceptance and a nonjudgmental space to process feelings.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and anger by providing tools to manage day-to-day challenges.
Solution-focused therapy is another element of her practice, emphasizing clear goals and small, concrete steps toward change. This short-term approach concentrates on strengths and what works, which can produce quicker gains for those seeking targeted progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gwenda works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let clients fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional or therapist.
