Therapeutic approaches and online care
Venise commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for stress, parenting strain, or grief. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client adjust techniques over time until they land on what helps most.
