How Kathleen Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful when dealing with depression, grief, or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns and includes practical exercises that can be done between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and small, achievable changes. It helps people build on what already works and create steps they can use right away.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps most.
