How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Ikesha commonly uses motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build motivation one step at a time. Client-centered therapy centers the session on the person's experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ikesha works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit someone’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She adjusts pacing and techniques as people try things and report what helps.
