Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options with Lauren Grassi

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and builds a collaborative, respectful relationship. It emphasizes empathy and acceptance, helping people feel heard as they explore personal values, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and supports skill-building for everyday coping. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and strengthen their own motivation. It can be useful when facing habits, relationship decisions, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren Grassi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to access support from home or elsewhere. These options make scheduling easier around work, family, and other commitments and can help people maintain continuity of care when life is busy or changing.
