How her approaches work for online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens without directing the story and helps the person name feelings and priorities. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to make sense of major life changes.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and reduce mixed feelings. This can help with workplace changes, addictions, or getting back on track after a setback.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ellen will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape practical steps and realistic goals for daily life and work wellbeing.
