Approaches and Online Options for Family and Youth Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client feels heard and supported. In this approach the therapist follows the youth or family's lead to explore feelings and goals, which can be especially helpful for building trust and self-awareness during life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with regulation, offering concrete skills for coping with everyday challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy helps young people and caregivers develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills. Simple mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve attention, making them useful alongside other therapeutic techniques.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with families to understand needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.
