How Anita’s approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities. The therapist creates space for you to describe what matters most and adjusts the pace and focus based on your feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and panic going. Motivational Interviewing helps uncover what matters to you and builds motivation for change using supportive conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anita will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the plan and the strategies used in sessions so they feel useful and doable.
