Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Robbins often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws from narrative therapy to help clients separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they see life events. Internal Family Systems is used to identify inner parts that may be in conflict and to bring more internal cooperation and calm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they adjust methods over time, mixing short-term problem solving with deeper reflective work as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow visual connection for richer conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
