How Bruce uses CBT and Solution-Focused methods online
Bruce draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve noticing thought patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and reviewing what did or did not work. This approach can be useful for anxiety, guilt, and repetitive worries.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to hone in on specific, achievable goals. That method emphasizes small steps and practical actions someone can try between meetings, which can help with relationship tensions and parenting challenges.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adapting the plan rather than committing to a single method from the start.
