Approaches that guide online work

Trish uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that are easy to use in ongoing counseling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions focus on strengths and what works, so people leave with clear actions to try between meetings. This approach can be helpful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and coping with specific problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Trish will help clients decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counseling helps fit care into a busy life by removing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can also allow shorter check-ins, easier access when schedules change, and continuity of support during life transitions.
