Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful when someone is feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, or life transitions and wants to feel understood while building clarity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which many people find useful for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays close attention to emotional needs and relationship patterns, supporting clients who want to strengthen connection and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Mims works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus based on individual needs, goals, and preferences over time.
