How Trish Uses Practical Therapies Online

Trish often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try alternative thoughts, and change small behaviors to feel better. Solution-Focused Therapy is another common approach she uses; it concentrates on clear goals and quick steps that build on a person's strengths to solve current problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Trish collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a short plan, checking progress, and adjusting techniques as needed.
