How Bonnie's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting each person’s pace and goals. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel heard before moving into change work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bonnie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
