How Geri Uses Therapy Models Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist offers empathic listening and helps clients feel heard, which can make it easier to identify what needs to change. This approach is useful for relationship strain, low self-esteem, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches clear strategies to shift those patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and impulsivity.
Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves. By reworking those stories, clients can reduce guilt, shame, and isolation and try new ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Geri will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She may combine approaches and adjust them as work progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often help clients apply CBT skills, practice communication tasks, or reframe stories between meetings, so online sessions can still support practical, goal-focused progress.
