Approaches that guide online work and progress

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, then tests small changes to shift patterns and reduce symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change and build internal motivation for next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lu Ann will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick approaches or mix methods and adjust over time based on what feels useful and doable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapeutic techniques at home while using strategies discussed in sessions to handle everyday situations.
