Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's experience and personal values, offering a supportive environment where empathy and understanding guide the process. This approach helps people explore identity, clarify goals, and make decisions that feel authentic to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools for daily coping and problem solving.
Mindfulness Therapy involves cultivating present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional balance. It can be especially useful for managing ongoing stress, chronic health challenges, and difficulties with sleep or rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Hannah works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She may integrate techniques from different approaches and adjust the plan as the work evolves to ensure the therapy remains effective and relevant.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows people to access care from a range of settings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists, accommodate busy lives, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
