It can be especially helpful when someone wants concrete tools for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, or coping with change.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore what matters most to them at their own pace. This approach can be useful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-esteem, and clarifying values in relationships, identity, or life direction.

Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on goals, existing strengths, and small steps that move things forward. It can be a good fit for people who want to identify what is working, build momentum, and develop realistic next actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Lasky works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to adjust the focus over time based on what is most helpful.
