Client-Centered and CBT Approaches in Online Therapy
Virginia Bowley uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasises empathy, listening and supporting a person's own capacity for insight and change, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem issues.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management.
