Client-Centered and CBT Support Available Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, offering an empathetic, listening-based approach that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore emotions and personal goals. This approach can be especially helpful for those working through grief, low motivation, or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical strategies and exercises that can help manage anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kennethya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care while offering convenience and accessibility for a range of needs.
