Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Anthonie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that increase stress or conflict. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and patterns that affect daily routines.He also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with emotion regulation. Mindfulness can support people feeling overwhelmed or isolated.
Solution-focused work is used to set clear, short-term goals and build small, practical steps toward better routines and communication. This approach is practical for people in blended households who need concrete changes quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that make sense for those goals. Clients and the therapist assess progress and adjust methods as needed in collaborative sessions.
