Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

This approach emphasizes listening and following the individual’s lead so goals come from what matters most in their life.He uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT tools often include practical exercises and small behavior changes to test new ways of coping.
Motivational interviewing is used when motivation feels low or change feels difficult. It helps people clarify personal reasons for change and build momentum without pressure.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and collaborate with the client to find which methods fit needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another or combining techniques across sessions.
