Approaches that guide online counseling choices
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the person feel heard. A therapist using this approach follows the client's lead, reflects what the client says, and supports self-directed goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses simple exercises and practice to change unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then suggest approaches to try. Clients often blend strategies from different approaches as they learn what helps most.
