How CBT and Mindfulness fit into online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. In practice that means identifying a thought pattern, trying a new response, and reviewing what changed in the next session. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and motivation issues.Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and basic breathing or grounding exercises. These short practices help reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support coping with grief, chronic pain, or compassion fatigue. Portia has also published a mindfulness planner that reflects this practical orientation.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which tools to try based on goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT exercises and layering in brief mindfulness practice, or focusing on mindfulness first to build steady attention.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only or video-based approaches depending on what fits their routine and comfort.
