Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care with Blaise Rastello

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the conversation. This approach helps people explore their values, build self-awareness, and strengthen self-esteem by centering the client’s experiences and goals.
