How Adrienne’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace so topics can be discussed without pressure. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and make decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses straightforward exercises to notice thinking patterns and try different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and workplace-related thinking that gets in the way of functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adrienne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what helps most, rather than applying a fixed plan.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between meetings. Different formats can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require a video connection, depending on what the therapist offers and what works best for the client.
