It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or addictive patterns. It often uses clear exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings and make their own choices.Finding the right method is part of the work together. John will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful.
