Therapeutic techniques Nicole uses and how they fit online
Nicole commonly uses cognitive-behavioral ideas and rational-emotive approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. Rational-emotive methods focus on challenging rigid beliefs that fuel shame, guilt, or anxiety and replacing them with more workable beliefs.She also uses a solution-focused mindset when appropriate, which means setting clear short-term goals and trying small, concrete changes between sessions. Together the therapist and client assess which mix of techniques feels most useful and adjust as progress and preferences become clear. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what helps in practical terms.
