How these approaches translate to online therapy
Latoya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing ADHD-related struggles. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small changes that lead to quick improvements and helps clients set practical goals they can try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past trauma and teaches skills to reduce symptoms and regain control.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to goals, review what has worked before, and suggest approaches that match needs and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat lets clients check in quickly, and messaging supports short updates between appointments. These options give flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and steady progress with a licensed professional.
