How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping each person feel heard. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to you, follows your pace, and helps you name goals for change. It is useful for stress, grief, relationship strain, and building self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily life. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide whether Client-Centered methods, CBT, or a mix fits best. She tailors plans to your needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts as you try strategies and report back.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for appointments, different modes of communication, and ways of working that suit varied schedules and energy levels.
