How Kay Uses Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and letting the client lead sessions. It helps when someone needs time to name what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kay collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. This is a flexible process that can change as progress is made.
