Applying CBT and Solution-Focused Work to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In short, it teaches practical skills to notice patterns, test assumptions, and replace responses that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. This approach is useful for mood concerns, panic, stress, and many everyday struggles.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths. Rather than dwelling on the past, it emphasizes small, concrete steps that produce noticeable change and can be especially effective for motivation, career questions, and short-term problem solving.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Surnedra will work with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while using methods that feel most comfortable for the client.
