Client-centered approaches for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert in their life. The therapist reflects, asks open questions, and helps people notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship concerns, and decisions about recovery from substance use.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what helps, adjust strategies, and keep the focus practical and goal-oriented.
Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can make it easier to fit a quick check-in during a lunch break or to join sessions from a different location when needed.
