How Tess Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, asks questions that clarify needs, and supports clients as they decide next steps. It helps people who need acceptance, clearer self-understanding, or a steady space to process difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Tess may help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific experiments or behavior changes to test new ways of coping. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and improving everyday routines.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tess will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions she reviews what's working and adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.
