How CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Work Online

Becky's practice draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address common problems like anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real-life evidence, which can reduce distress and change behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on where you want to go rather than dwelling on problems, using small, practical steps to move toward goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their priorities and daily life. Goals, preferences, and how someone responds to early sessions guide ongoing choices about technique and focus.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support steady progress through regular sessions and homework between meetings. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you begin so sessions fit into your routine and goals.
