(she/her)
My approach is solution focused with the belief that you are coming to me for ideas and strategies that you may not have tried before. It is a collaborative approach that is by invitation. That means if one skill set doesn't work for you, we can explore another which may be more in line with your experience. This is also known as a client centered approach.
When we meet for the first time, I will start by asking you what brought you to counseling and will ask some questions to get an idea of the characters and circumstances in your life.
I'm fairly interactive in that I listen, offer feedback, and check in with you about progress. I support you in seeing and feeling change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a standard method for examining the thoughts behind your behavior with the focus on exploring if there might be alternative thoughts which may lead to trying different behaviors. In my practice I include the use of Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.

Theresa listened to me drone on. But it was really helpful. She made me cry. Not really, but I did get a bit emotional.
