How Diane’s Approaches Guide Online Work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what matters to the person and helps them clarify goals and values, which is useful for grief, life changes, and relationships.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It uses supportive questions to strengthen motivation and resolve doubts, which can be helpful for addictions and commitment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, preferences, and how they respond in sessions. This makes the plan feel more relevant and manageable.
