How Becky Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Becky commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and on building small, practical steps toward those goals; it can be helpful when someone wants focused change or coping strategies.

Choosing an approach is part of the collaboration. Becky will talk with each person about what they want to accomplish, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is intended to be flexible and responsive to the client's needs and preferences.
