Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dr. Mentor often uses client-centered therapy online, which means sessions begin with what matters most to the person and the therapist follows the clients lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when people need a calm space to talk through difficult feelings or life decisions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT in web or phone sessions to help identify negative thoughts and try practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, coping with change, and managing stress by teaching concrete skills to test and change patterns of thinking.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. Clients help shape the work so techniques that dont fit can be replaced with ones that do.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
