How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following your lead. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and reflecting it back to help you gain clarity, which can ease anxiety and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which is helpful for stress and mood shifts.

Motivational Interviewing helps when you feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses gentle questions to explore values and build motivation for next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor a plan based on your goals, needs, and preferences, so you and the therapist decide together what to focus on.
