Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and following each person's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds the relationship needed to tackle hard issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical tools to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. The Gottman Method offers clear communication and conflict tools for people managing relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building through CBT, then using narrative or client-centered work to process deeper patterns. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are well suited for in-depth sessions that rely on visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, convenient ways to touch base or run brief exercises between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
