Remote care using collaborative, evidence-informed techniques

Client-centered techniques prioritize the client’s perspective, creating space for their priorities and pacing.

Sessions can focus on identifying patterns that affect mood and functioning, practicing new coping skills, and strengthening motivation to take next steps. The combination allows for attention to immediate coping needs and to longer range goals identified with the client.
