Approaches That Guide Online Work and Goal Planning

Dr. Grattan commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is practical and can help with anxiety, low motivation, and depression by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also draws on client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. That approach helps people clarify values, make choices, and feel understood during periods of grief or major life change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
