Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Stephanie Young

She also draws on client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can direct the pace and focus of treatment. For clients working on substance use or motivation for change, she incorporates motivational interviewing techniques to explore ambivalence and support movement toward personal goals.
