How sessions work
How Bethany applies therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. It involves listening and reflecting back what matters, and helps people clarify their own goals and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts and behaviors, then tries specific, practical exercises to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete techniques for managing intense emotions, handling distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethany will discuss options and use what fits best for the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to involve the client in choosing which techniques to try and to adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
