How Vicky’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you name your own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and offers concrete steps to change them, which can help with anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people notice their reasons for change and build momentum without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vicky will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try first and how to adjust them over time.
