Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It emphasizes empathetic listening and support so clients can explore their feelings, clarify values, and make changes at their own pace; this approach often helps with life transitions, self-exploration, and emotional healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used to address mood challenges, problem behaviors, and patterns that contribute to distress, providing concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
