How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Nakie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the ways past traumatic events continue to affect thinking, relationships, and coping, and offers structured ways to process those impacts.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. She will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the concern, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize over time.
