Online support options
How Delissa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and values. The therapist listens closely and helps clients set goals and choose steps that feel right for them, which is useful for concerns like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach happens together. Delissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to early strategies. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the individual rather than prescribing one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when they want that connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
