How these approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what matters most and helps people set goals that feel important and doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and managing cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
