Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and creates a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people explore feelings and values to build self-understanding and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, stress, and many everyday challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that boosts motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and supporting personal reasons for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tandrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists may blend these approaches to tailor sessions so they respond to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation constraints, and maintain continuity of care. These options support ongoing access to therapy and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable and convenient.
