How Antonia's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Antonia draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client's voice and goals. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting each person's self-directed growth, which can help with emotional regulation and relationship concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify small changes that reduce anxiety, manage anger, or address addictive patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises and skill practice that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they are personally meaningful and relevant.
For practical benefits, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and school commitments. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
