BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Rebecca commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting clients to set their own goals, useful for sorting through values and relationship questions. CBT looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines to create small, concrete changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy when slowing down noticing thoughts and bodily reactions helps reduce reactivity. Mindfulness skills are simple practices to use between sessions and can help with stress, anger, and coping with loss. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time as progress is observed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into the week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and health demands.CAreas of focus
