How Tiffany’s approaches translate to online work
Tiffany blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions practical. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and building a trusting relationship so clients can name their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and work through strong feelings in relationships. That approach can help with communication problems, attachment concerns, and rebuilding connection after conflict. All of this is used flexibly so the plan fits what each person needs.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support steady progress with regular check-ins and skill practice between sessions.
