How her approaches are used in online work
Harriet uses solution-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify small, practical changes and test them between sessions. This approach centers on clear goals and step-by-step strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.She also applies Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change. That method is conversational and helps people weigh options and commit to workable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach specific tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with panic, strong mood swings, and self-harm behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single method for everyone.
The practical benefits of doing sessions remotely are that therapy can fit more easily into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when useful. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. The focus is on finding ways to make sessions fit everyday life while working toward clear goals.
