How Charlton’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and resolve mixed feelings. This approach can help with addictions, ambivalence about relationship decisions, and making lifestyle shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and daily stressors because it gives practiceable techniques to use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client sets the agenda. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what goals matter most. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Meetings can begin with one approach and shift as progress or priorities change. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the listing does not specify format details. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. -
