How Gail's Approaches Work Online and in Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist helps the client set goals and follows the client's pace so conversations reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to break unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it emphasizes skills you can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gail will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process lets therapy shift as goals change and new priorities emerge.
