How Barbara’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in simple, practical ways. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts that lead to stress and testing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting small, concrete goals and building on what already works to move forward.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. Over time they adjust the focus based on what helps most, so sessions stay relevant and goal-directed.
