How Daphne’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It focuses on testing new ways of thinking and doing, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversation-based method that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen their motivation to change, often used for addiction and behavior change.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend approaches to try. That choice is revisited over time, so methods can be adjusted based on what is or isn’t helping.
