How Aimee's Approaches Fit Online Care
Aimee commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people clarify their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and tests small changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood.She also offers Mindfulness Therapy when it suits a person’s goals; mindfulness practices help people notice stress and respond with less reactivity. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Aimee works with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what helps most.
