How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. This approach supports building trust and shaping goals around the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going. CBT often uses brief exercises and homework to test new ways of coping.Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the work together. Tamara will help figure out which approaches fit your situation, goals, and preferences. The plan can adapt over time as progress is reviewed and needs change.
