Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective and strengths, creating space for individuals to explore their values and goals while the therapist provides empathy and support. This approach is well suited to people seeking empowerment, clarity, and stronger self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing mood, improving motivation, and addressing problems like low self-esteem and difficulty coping with life changes.
