CBT and strengths-based support online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficulties in relationships by combining practical exercises with reflective work to shift thinking and behavior.
Alongside CBT, Vicky emphasizes a strengths-focused, empowering stance that recognizes each person as the expert in their own life. This supportive orientation helps people build on existing resources and confidence while working toward clear, realistic goals.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Vicky works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend strategies to find the best fit for each individual.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support from wherever clients are located. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, greater access for international clients, and multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and practical needs.
