Approaches that guide online work
Wayne commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address thoughts and everyday habits. Client-centered therapy means listening closely, following the person's priorities, and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and routines keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change those patterns.He also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. That work focuses on reducing the ways trauma intrudes into current thinking and behavior, and on building skills to cope with reminders and stressors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. Clients and therapist work together to test small changes and track what helps.
