Approaches That Guide Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth. This approach helps clients clarify their values, increase self-understanding, and build the confidence to make changes in areas like relationships, parenting, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday challenges by teaching strategies that change how situations are interpreted and acted upon.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. It can be beneficial for stress, emotion regulation, and cultivating a steadier sense of focus during times of change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mondie Gonzales works with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to better meet each person’s needs.
