How Brenda Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Brenda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety or anger. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and simple tracking of thoughts and actions to test what works.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks at small, realistic steps toward a preferred future. This approach tends to focus on strengths, recent successes, and short-term goals to build momentum quickly.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Brenda asks about a person’s goals, routines, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
