How Carla Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Carla draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and many day-to-day coping challenges because it breaks issues into manageable steps. Solution-focused therapy is more goal-directed and looks for what is already working; it helps people build on strengths and create clear next steps toward a preferred future.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Carla will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person’s needs and goals. That may mean combining CBT skill-building with solution-focused goal setting, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
