How Christie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals, with the therapist listening closely and responding to what matters most. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who are unsure about change. It uses guided questions to strengthen motivation and plan small steps, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then try methods that suit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to keep the work practical and relevant.
