How Cicely Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety, anger, or low mood, and then try small experiments to change those patterns. This approach is practical and goal oriented, with skills you can use between sessions.

She also draws from trauma-related methods to help people process upsetting events and reduce their impact over time. These approaches include stepwise strategies to reframe traumatic memories and reduce intense reactions, paired with grounding and coping tools for day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cicely collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps you make steady progress.
