Sithembisile commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathetic listening and genuine acceptance to help people explore their feelings and build self-understanding - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and emotional recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people find their own motivation for change, which can be useful for issues such as habits, career transitions, or engagement in treatment.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape sessions so they remain relevant and effective for the individual.
