Approaches to Healing Online with Practical Support

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients can tap their own strengths and make changes at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach Laurie employs, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laurie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing to fit what each individual finds most useful.
