BHow sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Longsworth uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the client’s experience and priorities. That means the therapist listens closely and helps clients name what matters most, then builds sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it often involves simple exercises or homework to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice physical sensations, breath, and thought patterns, which can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. The plan can change as needs shift, with regular check-ins about what is helping and what to try next.
