How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dominique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on a person's strengths and recent successes to build small, concrete goals that move daily life forward.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Many clients blend elements from both approaches depending on what is most useful for the moment.
