Approaches that guide online support
Charles uses client-centered therapy to make sure conversations start with what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening without judgment and adjusting the pace and content to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT often includes short exercises and experiments to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress unfolds. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.
