How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing daily routines with ADHD. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and identifying strengths that move a person toward their goals in a few steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past trauma by helping people process memories and reduce the ways those memories affect current life. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences during early sessions and recommend which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made, so treatment is collaborative and flexible. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and making it easier to keep appointments during work or family responsibilities. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or reduce the need to travel.
