Approaches and Online Support for Life Transitions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and resources. It involves attentive listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people clarify values, build self-esteem, and cope with major life changes. This approach can be especially useful for clients facing transitions, relationship challenges, or questions about identity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching strategies for managing worry, improving mood, and increasing effective coping.
