Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping the person lead the conversation about what matters most. This approach supports clients who are coping with life transitions, grief, or changes related to aging by creating space to explore values, feelings, and personal strengths in a nonjudgmental way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, problem-focused method that helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT offers strategies for shifting unhelpful thoughts and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms related to medical stress, chronic pain, or daily worries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Saundrea Young works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with a licensed professional from home or another convenient location.
