How Carlie Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding first. The therapist follows your lead, asks questions to clarify what matters to you, and shapes sessions around your goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT often breaks problems into simple steps you can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a team process. Carlie will discuss options with you and adjust methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to match practical tools to what feels realistic for your life rather than insisting on one technique.
