Remote sessions that emphasize practical problem solving
Anne Combs offers online work that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in a collaborative, goal-oriented way. CBT is presented in accessible terms as a means to examine patterns of thinking and behavior that affect day-to-day coping. Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals, taking problems one at a time and building on what already works for the individual.
She integrates a client-centered stance that keeps the conversation focused on the person sitting with their immediate concerns, while her executive coaching background adds a practical lens for professional or role-related challenges. This blend can suit people who prefer a present-focused, action-oriented collaboration that still values understanding how past events influence current functioning.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those formats are used to engage in the techniques described above, set short-term goals, and track progress between meetings.
