Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so a person can explore what matters most and set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and break unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina treats the choice of methods as a team decision and will help figure out what fits best based on your goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and useful.
