Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following each person's goals. The therapist provides empathy and reflection so people can clarify what matters and choose steps that feel right. This approach helps with motivation and finding personal meaning.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together the therapist and client spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new actions. This method works well for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear exercises to try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-driven. It narrows in on small, practical changes and builds on what already works. This approach is useful when people want quick, actionable steps to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts plans so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face conversation. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach help from different locations.
