How client-centered and CBT work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the person's lead. The therapist uses empathy and open questions to help people clarify what they want to change and to build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday situations to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process that may combine listening-focused sessions with skill-building work from CBT.
