How specific approaches can work in online care
Yoshonna integrates Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves so painful events take up less of their identity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, accepting, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical steps to change behavior and mood.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are paced.
