How Bethany Uses CBT and Mindfulness Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building treatment around the person’s goals. In practice this means time in sessions to tell your story and set priorities before starting active work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to see what works for daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethany takes a collaborative stance and will help you choose which techniques to try based on your needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She adjusts pace and exercises so they fit how you live and what you want to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide practice exercises you can use between meetings so change carries into everyday routines.
