How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Woods commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT involves looking at patterns of thought and behavior, testing small changes, and tracking how those changes affect mood and relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and on identifying what is already working so clients can build on it.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting techniques as needed.
