How Danae's approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the client lead the path and pace of change. It suits people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Danae uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. This can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Danae treats approach selection as collaborative and will help clients test what fits best based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in weekly life. Adjustments are normal and expected as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time.
