Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and goals
LaTresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks down problems into small parts and teaches practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises help with stress, anger, and symptoms of anxiety by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations when schedules permit. Phone sessions can be an option that uses less bandwidth and fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick strategy reviews, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
