Online support options
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and helps the client name their priorities, strengths, and values so changes feel personally meaningful. This approach is useful for grief, stress, and rebuilding confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Online CBT often includes short exercises and thought records to practice between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. Together they set clear, manageable steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their routine. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
