How Tammy Uses Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the client brings. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to try new ways of coping. Both approaches can help with anxiety, sleep issues, mood shifts, and everyday stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tammy will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to emphasize. The process is collaborative - clients and therapist adjust methods as progress is made and new needs appear.
