How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and using practical exercises to change reactions and routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress management.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward a preferred future. Sessions look for exceptions to problems and build on strengths to create quick, measurable shifts. This approach suits people who want concrete goals and short-term progress on issues like coping with life changes or improving daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for sleep and anxiety, or using solution-focused steps to change daily habits.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or offering sessions when stepping away from work is more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused tools effectively in remote settings to help maintain momentum between appointments.
