Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting clients to find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-worth, and addressing relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people develop practical skills to manage depression, anxiety, and unhelpful patterns.She also incorporates motivational interviewing when exploring change related to addictions or lifestyle goals - this approach uses respectful conversation to clarify motivation and strengthen commitment to change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together, with adjustments as progress unfolds.
