How his approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens deeply and follows the issues the client brings up, which can help with anxiety, panic, and life decisions.Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons to change. It uses questions and reflective listening to boost a person’s own motivation for steps like reducing addictive behavior or improving daily routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that can be tried between sessions. It helps set short-term goals and track progress, which many people find useful when managing panic symptoms or mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals, then adjust methods as progress is made. That way the work stays practical and focused on what is most helpful.
