How Floyd Uses Trauma-Focused, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Floyd works with Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the impact of traumatic events. That approach focuses on understanding trauma responses and building step-by-step ways to feel safer and more in control. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and making space for each person's perspective, helping them set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Floyd will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend ideas to try. The plan can be adjusted as work proceeds so it fits the person's pace and priorities.
