In client-centered practice she focuses on listening with empathy and partnering with clients to clarify goals, honor their perspective, and prioritize what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques are described collaboratively, with attention to identifying thought patterns and developing practical strategies for coping and problem solving.
Mindfulness-based elements are woven in to help increase present-moment awareness and to support stress and emotion regulation. Lana works together with each person to select which approaches to emphasize and to adjust pace, interventions, and goals as sessions progress.
