Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Client-Centered Therapy is an approach that prioritizes the client's perspective, offering empathy, active listening, and collaboration so people can explore feelings and make changes at their own pace. It is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and decision-making.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and processing the effects of traumatic events, using structured techniques to reduce distress and build coping skills for symptoms that follow abuse or overwhelming experiences. It aims to support emotional regulation and recovery while respecting each person's readiness to engage.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Sherife will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process can involve adjusting focus and techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.
