Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dorothy Frazier
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life and creates a collaborative, empathetic space where goals and pace are set together. This approach is helpful for people seeking stronger self-understanding, improved communication, and a supportive environment for personal growth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical coping strategies.
