Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online therapy

Anna uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can clarify their feelings and values. This approach is helpful for those dealing with relationship strain, family issues, and challenges to self-esteem.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT tends to be practical and goal-oriented, helping people develop skills they can apply between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or connect from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and allow therapists to tailor the format to what helps the person most.
