About Brenda
Part 2 of 4
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can understand themselves better. It helps people build confidence, explore values, and find direction through a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks problems down into small parts and tests new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward client-centered listening, CBT skill-building, or a combination of both.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to work through skills exercises and homework between meetings, helping new habits carry over into daily life.
