How client-centered and CBT approaches fit online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story, feel heard, and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new patterns. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, and changing day-to-day behaviors that get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tricia will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.
