How client-centered and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and making the session about the client’s priorities. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people choose their next steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and decision points.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques are useful for managing stress, grief, and symptoms of compassion fatigue by bringing more ease to daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamara will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
