How Sheila Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online

Sheila works with client-centered methods that focus on the person’s own goals and experience. This approach emphasizes listening, respect for what the client knows about their life, and supporting their choices and strengths.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and change behaviors that get in the way.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sheila will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
