How Taij’s approaches fit online therapy

Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist asks about what matters most, reflects back what they hear, and helps shape goals together. This approach can benefit people working through trauma, grief, relationship stress, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep and eating routines. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm in everyday moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taij will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
